42 | Wealth in the Hands of Godly People with special guest Alyssa Omdal

November 27, 2023 • Becky Kopitzke

Why should more Christian business owners pursue financial gain? The money itself is not the reward, but rather what we can do with that money to further God’s kingdom. What would the world look like if more godly people had wealth to share?

In today’s episode we’re hearing from Alyssa Omdal, a top leader in Shaklee Corporation and an experienced direct sales professional. As a Christian mom, former Christian school teacher, and a pastor’s wife, Alyssa has wrestled with the concept of earning money, and she’ll share what she has learned over 12 years of successes and mistakes. Together we’ll discuss how our culture influences our thoughts on wealth (both for and against), and how feeling the tension of idolatry is actually a reminder to keep Jesus the main focus.

Finally, we’ll explore the stigma surrounding networking marketing, and reveal how when done well, network marketing is actually an excellent business model, especially for women and moms who want to prioritize family and help provide for their households.

Why does it matter who owns the wealth in our world?
