Who Is Rachel Ngom?

Rachel Ngom is a Christian entrepreneur, kingdom leader, and online business strategist who has helped more than 10,000 students go through her programs. She is a graduate of the Global School of Supernatural Ministry and the host of her own podcast. After running a successful 7-figure business working 10–20 hours a week, Rachel walked away from it all in obedience to God and spent three years rebuilding from the ground up on a biblical foundation. She lives with her husband and two children and is as transparent about the wilderness seasons as she is about the breakthrough ones.

What Happened in the Prayer Closet in 2023?

Rachel was running a profitable online program called Activate, the revenue engine of her entire business, when she sat down in her prayer closet to pray over it. What she heard stopped her.

“I’m not in it. Shut it down.”

She sat on it for a week. She sought godly counsel. Then she made the call.

What she did not realize at the time was that the rest of the business model did not make sense without that program. Over the next several months, the entire 7-figure business came down with it. And it was only after she made that decision that she could see clearly what had been wrong: new age influences had crept into the content she had been teaching and she had not noticed them until they were gone.

What Does New Age Have to Do With Christian Coaching?

Once Rachel stepped away, she started seeing it everywhere. Nearly every major personal development coach, motivational speaker, and business educator was operating from a framework rooted in new age philosophy, not a biblical one.

Visualization, manifesting, mindset work, law of attraction and many other tools that she had learned and taught were built on a foundation that had nothing to do with Christ. And because the results looked good and the money was coming in, it was easy not to ask the harder question: is God actually in this?

Her answer now is to ask that question first, not last. She spent the following three years attending ministry school and rebuilding her business model around what she calls a biblical foundation, one where the mission is clear, the methods are examined, and the fruit is tested against Scripture rather than just revenue.

How Do You Actually Hear From the Holy Spirit?

This is one of the most practical exchanges in the entire episode. Rachel’s answer is simpler than most people expect: you get quiet.

The Holy Spirit, she says, has never spoken to her while she was scrolling her phone. It does not work that way. What does work is intentionality, making space, removing distraction, and showing up in a posture of listening rather than producing.

For Rachel that means mornings, ideally at 5 a.m., before the chaos of kids and schedule takes over. She is honest that it does not always happen at the same time or in the same way; sometimes it is her prayer closet, sometimes it is sitting on the back porch listening to worship music. What does not change is the posture: quiet, present, and listening.

Dr. Dave pointed out something worth sitting with: every distraction in your life right now is fighting for the same attention that God is asking for. You have to say no to something so you can say yes to something else.

What Are Toxic Motivators and How Do They Show Up in Business?

The FLAP framework (Fear, Lust, Anger, Pride) identifies the four toxic motivators that quietly drive decisions in business and in life when we are not paying attention.

Rachel and Dr. Dave zeroed in on fear and lust as the two that show up most aggressively in entrepreneurship.

Fear is what the entire marketing industry sells. You are not enough. You do not have enough. You need to look better, spend more, keep up. Dr. Dave put a number on it: the amount of money spent on cultivating fear in the marketplace dwarfs the amount spent on faith. He compared it to the ratio a friend discovered between money flowing into global child slavery and money flowing into fighting it, an unfair fight in the worst direction.

Lust is the perpetual hunger for more. Rachel talked about the HOA in her neighborhood and the keeping-up-with-the-Joneses pressure that lives in even the most ordinary suburbs. Her antidote was practical: she and her husband drove cheap used cars for years and did not buy nice things. That discipline is a large part of what built their actual net worth and it required actively resisting the narrative that more stuff signals more success.

What Does It Look Like to Build a Business on Biblical Ground?

Rachel spent three years asking this question before she started rebuilding. The answer she arrived at was not a formula, it was a foundation. Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness. Let that be the starting point for every decision, every product, every piece of content.

Practically that means testing what you teach against Scripture before you teach it. It means asking whether the thing you are building is something God is actually in, not just something that is performing well. It means being willing to hear “shut it down” and take that seriously, even when the numbers say otherwise.

What Does Faith Look Like for a 5-Year-Old?

One of the most memorable moments in this conversation is Rachel describing her daughter Gabrielle. At five years old, Gabrielle became the prayer warrior of her kindergarten class. Anytime a classmate was hurt or sick, they went to Gabrielle. Teachers with back pain came to her. People felt better.

Gabrielle’s teacher told Rachel at a quarterly check-in: “She’s our little prayer warrior.” Gabrielle had not told her mom any of it. She was just doing it because she had watched her mom do it.

Rachel’s word to every busy parent listening: get your kids involved in the journey. They are watching. They are learning. And they are never too young.

Each one has a corresponding virtue: love, freedom, peace, and humility. The framework is central to Dr. Dave’s Plan to Win work and the R7 process.

How do you hear from the Holy Spirit in daily life? According to Rachel Ngom, you have to get quiet and remove distractions. Consistent morning time, ideally before the demands of the day begin, is the most reliable path. The specific setting matters less than the posture: intentional, quiet, and listening.

What is the R7 Process?

The R7 Process is a God-inspired framework that walks leaders through seven steps: Destiny, Vision, Strategy, Brand, Communicate, Think, and Action. These steps help clarify their purpose and build a marketing strategy that actually works. It was designed specifically for Christian organizations who want to stop spinning their wheels and start leading with rigor. Every conversation on this podcast is grounded in that foundation.
