A Scripture-Anchored Business Methodology
Build God’s Way.
Make Progress.
Multiply the Impact.
Accelerate helps Christian business owners apply biblical principles and practical business strategy to build stronger, healthier businesses.
Assess where you are. Identify what’s holding you back. Build what your business needs next.
The Unministered Acre
Your Business Is Not Separate From Your Faith.
The church disciples us around marriage, parenting, finances, leadership, and other important areas of life.
But what about the business?
The place where owners make decisions, lead people, manage resources, serve customers, create opportunities, and spend much of their waking lives.
Many Christian business owners love God and work incredibly hard, yet still find themselves:
- Overwhelmed by the business.
- Carrying too much themselves.
- Unsure what to work on next.
- Operating without a clear strategy.
- Working constantly without making enough progress.
We believe business is an area of stewardship too.
That’s why Great Harvest created:
Businesstry™
Businesstry equips Christian owners to apply biblical principles to the real work of building, leading, stewarding, and growing a business.
“ The marketplace is a mission field. ”
The Methodology
Five Disciplines to Help You Make Progress.
Accelerate turns biblical principles into practical business-building action through five disciplines.
Assess
Know where you are.
“Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks…”
PROVERBS 27:23
Take an honest look at the condition of your business before deciding what comes next.
Strategize
Decide where you’re going.
“Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.”
PROVERBS 16:3
Turn prayer, vision, and intention into a deliberate plan for moving forward.
Organize
Put the right resources in place.
“Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.”
EXODUS 18:21
Turn prayer, vision, and intention into a deliberate plan for moving forward.
Prioritize
Focus on what matters now.
“…one thing is needful…”
LUKE 10:42
Everything important cannot be equally important today. Separate activity from priority and focus on the work that moves the business forward.
Systemize
Make excellence repeatable.
“Let all things be done decently and in order.”
1 CORINTHIANS 14:40
If the plays live only in your head, you’re the bottleneck. Document how work gets done so the business can operate with greater consistency and accountability.
Analyze
Strategize
Organize
Prioritize
Systemize
See clearly. Decide wisely. Build intentionally. Make progress.
Scripture to Strategy
This Isn’t Business Advice With Bible Verses Added.
The order matters. In Accelerate:
Scripture reveals a Principle that informs a Business Tool that creates Action that produces Progress.
Scripture
Principle
Tool
Action
Progress
Accelerate is a nine-week, Scripture-anchored business-building experience where owners work on their actual businesses—their numbers, challenges, people, priorities, opportunities, and systems.
Every session moves from biblical truth to practical implementation.
And every session ends with a:
Steward Step™
One specific action to move what you’ve learned into your business.
Because stewardship isn’t simply something we understand.
It’s something we practice.
Tangible Business Progress
Don’t Just Leave Inspired. Leave With Something Built.
Accelerate isn’t designed to give business owners more information.
It’s designed to help them do the work.
Throughout the experience, participants build and strengthen practical business assets including:
