Everyone online makes entrepreneurship look like the ultimate path to freedom—but the truth is far more complicated. After 18 years of building SeedTime , Bob & Linda open up about what most people never say out loud: the failures, the mental load, the pivots, the spiritual battle, and why starting a business isn't automatically God's will for everyone. If you're dreaming of quitting your job… or you already have a business and feel the weight of it… this honest, hope-filled conversation will help you discern your next step with wisdom, peace, and biblical grounding. What We Cover Why 95% of their entrepreneurial attempts failed (and why that's normal) The truth behind "being your own boss" (spoiler: you still have bosses) The 87% mental-health struggle rate among founders How social media romanticizes entrepreneurship—and how Christians should see it differently When hating your job doesn't mean God is calling you to start a business What Scripture actually teaches about work, calling, and servanthood How prayer sustained SeedTime (including years of praying daily over the book ) Why purpose—not profit—is the only sustainable fuel for entrepreneurs The friend who lost everything building a business… only to discover God's better plan in a "regular job" The role of humility, long checklists, and constant pivots in real-life entrepreneurship Scripture Mentioned (NLT) Colossians 3:23 — Work willingly as though working for the Lord. Mark 10:44 — "Whoever wants to be first must be the servant of all."
