157 | Faith and Business: Bridging the Growth Gap with April Morris
Wed Jan 28 2026
Unlocking Personal and Professional Growth: Conversations with Christian Business Coach April Morris
In today’s conversation, April Morris and Michele Duwe talk about what a growth gap is, how it shows up for Christian women in business, and why the real issue isn’t always “needing a better strategy.” We also dig into the difference between a rigid routine and a growth rhythm, and how surrender plays a key role in moving forward with God. Because so many Christian business owners are doing “all the right things” — planning, praying, learning, taking notes — and still feel stuck or inconsistent. This episode helps you name what’s happening without shame and gives you a faith-led way to move forward without striving and burnout.
This conversation brings clarity and relief by helping you:
Identify what kind of gap is actually holding you back (not just guessing)
Stop assuming you’re “behind” or “broken”
Shift from rigid routines that fall apart in real life to a rhythm you can return to
Rebuild confidence through follow-through, not perfection
Practice daily surrender so you can grow with God instead of forcing outcomes
