Faith, Business, and the Power of Resurrection: Stepping Into God’s New Plan
“Behold, I make all things new” (Revelation 21:5).
As Catholic women in business, we understand the tension between ambition and surrender. During Lent, we reflected on letting go, trusting God, and allowing Him to redirect our path. Now, as we celebrate Easter—the season of resurrection—we step into the fullness of His promise. Resurrection is not just about Christ rising from the dead; it is also about the new life we receive when we trust God enough to release our plans and embrace His.
For me, this journey became real when I let go of my planned e-commerce and digital marketing business model. I had worked hard, strategized, and envisioned a particular future. But God, in His wisdom, led me in a different direction—one that involved incorporating a social enterprise and access to grants I hadn’t previously considered. It was a resurrection moment: the death of my plans followed by the birth of something greater.
How can you experience this resurrection in your work and in the rest of your life?
1. Resurrection Brings Clarity of Purpose
Letting go in Lent often leads to clarity in Easter. When we surrender, we create space for God to reveal His bigger plan. Initially, I thought stepping away from my business model was a setback. In reality, it was God clearing my vision so I could see the next step.
Action Item: If you’re feeling lost or uncertain, take time to reflect. Ask yourself, “What is God revealing to me in this season?” Journal your thoughts, and look for patterns in where He is leading you.
2. Resurrection Aligns Us With God’s Will
Jesus’ resurrection was not random; it was the fulfillment of God’s perfect plan. When we resist change, we sometimes fight against the very path God has laid out for us. My decision to shift my business direction allowed me to align with a more impactful mission—one that serves others and opens doors I never imagined.
Action Item: Reflect on your business and career. Are you resisting God’s redirection out of fear? Take a small step in obedience, and trust that He will reveal the next one.
3. Resurrection Multiplies Blessings
When Christ rose, He didn’t just return to life—He brought salvation to the world. Resurrection always leads to abundance. By following God’s call, I found unexpected opportunities, including grants and new revenue streams that I hadn’t originally planned for.
Action Item: Look around for the unexpected blessings in your journey. What new opportunities is God presenting to you? Instead of holding onto an old plan, open your hands to receive what He is offering.
4. Resurrection Is an Invitation to Transformation
“Behold, I am making all things new.” Easter reminds us that God doesn’t just restore what was lost—He transforms it into something greater. The kindness we show to ourselves and others as we navigate change is met with God’s abundant grace.
Action Item: Extend mercy to yourself in this season of transition. Trust that mistakes, delays, or uncertainties are all part of God’s process. He is making all things new—including you.
Walking in Resurrection Power
Easter is not just a historical event; it is an invitation to new life. As Catholic women in business, we are called to trust God’s resurrection power in our career, finances, and mission. When we let go, He resurrects something even greater. This Easter, let’s walk in faith, knowing that surrendering to God’s plan leads to clarity, alignment, abundance, and transformation.
Are you in a season of transition? I’d love to hear how God is leading you. Let’s encourage each other as we walk in the power of His resurrection.
