Envision a promising tech startup, fueled by venture capital promises, where the founder vows to prioritize employee well-being and community impact—only to renege under growth pressures, leading to lawsuits, talent exodus, and a tarnished legacy. This echoes the pitfalls Larry Burkett dissects in Business By the Book, where unkept commitments erode not just reputations but souls. As our 9-week series progresses, Week 3 zeros in on forging God-honoring business goals—those that propel the Gospel, foster discipleship, and steward resources eternally—while upholding the sacred duty of vow-keeping. In a 2025 landscape where 68% of executives report "commitment fatigue" from overpromising on sustainability goals (per recent CSR surveys), Burkett's timeless wisdom cuts through: Success without integrity is illusion. We'll mine scripture's vows, Burkett's goal-setting blueprint, and contemporary case studies to equip you for purposeful, promise-bound entrepreneurship that echoes heaven's priorities.

Picture this: You're a driven entrepreneur, bootstrapping your startup into a multimillion-dollar venture, but every night, the weight of mounting loans and endless 80-hour weeks crushes your spirit. Your family feels like strangers, your faith a distant echo, and success tastes like ash. This is the "business bondage" Larry Burkett warns against in Business By the Book—the invisible chains of debt and overcommitment that ensnare even the most ambitious believers. In our second installment of this 9-week series, we'll dive deep into breaking free from these traps while crafting personal goals that harmonize faith, family, and finances. Burkett, drawing from his decades counseling thousands through Crown Financial Ministries, argues that true prosperity isn't about accumulation but liberation. In a 2025 economy where small business debt hit $1.2 trillion amid rising interest rates, this message is urgent. We'll explore scriptural escapes, Burkett's strategies, and modern applications to help you reclaim God's design for abundant living.
