    Ep. 19| Stop Believing the Lie: You Didn't Miss Your Opportunity

    Are you stuck replaying business decisions you wish you could take back? Beating yourself up for the hire you didn't make, the deal that fell through, or the opportunity you "missed"? This episode will completely reframe how you see setbacks, delays, and disappointments in business. Josiah Ryan breaks down the biblical principle that there are no missed opportunities in God's kingdom—only redirected steps that are part of a sovereign plan you can't see yet. Drawing from Proverbs 16:9, Genesis 50:20, and Ecclesiastes 3:1, Josiah walks through why the world's approach to business—scarcity, regret, and scrambling—is fundamentally opposed to God's design for your life and work. He shares raw, personal testimony about how the hurricanes that destroyed his business turned out to be the greatest blessing of his life, removing idols he didn't even know he had and repositioning him for a partnership that's now changing everything. If you've been living with regret, feeling like you're behind, or wondering if you made the wrong call, this episode will help you see God's sovereign hand in every closed door, every "failure," and every pivot you've had to make. What you'll learn in this episode: Why your perfect plan failing might be God's perfect protection How to stop emotionally spiraling over business decisions that didn't pan out The difference between the world's cruel way of doing business and God's kingdom way Why putting people first—not profit—unlocks God's favor in your business How to identify and eliminate money idols that are quietly running your life The real reason God allows betrayal, loss, and hardship in business What it means that "a man's heart devises his ways, but the Lord directs his steps" How to trust God's timing when everything feels delayed or derailed This is a faith-building, perspective-shifting episode for Christian business owners who are ready to stop living in regret and start walking in the confidence that God is sovereignly directing every step—even the ones that feel like setbacks. If you're tired of the isolation, the pressure, and the worldly hustle that leaves you empty, this podcast is your community.

    Ep. 18| Recruiting Is the Real Job of a Business Owner (Part 1)

    Most small business owners think their biggest problem is sales, marketing, or cash flow. It’s not. In this episode of The Christian Business Podcast with Josiah Ryan, Josiah breaks down why recruiting is the most important skill a business owner can develop — and how failing to master it keeps you trapped in the day-to-day. Josiah explains the leverage behind hiring the right employees, how buying your time back changes everything, and why one trained person can outperform the owner over the long run. He walks through the difference between employees and department heads, what to look for when hiring, and why coachability and ownership mentality matter more than raw skill. This episode also speaks directly to young professionals and employees, revealing a massive opportunity most people are missing: thousands of business owners from the baby boomer generation are retiring, and many have no one to sell their businesses to. For those willing to work, learn, and lead, there has never been a better time to step into ownership. Josiah also delivers a clear challenge to business owners: either commit to being an A++++ leader who builds people and culture, or stop pretending you want to grow. Excellence is not optional in today’s market. If you’re serious about building a business that runs without you — and honors God through leadership, stewardship, and excellence — this episode will reshape how you think about hiring forever.

    EP 15| The Sailboat: Why God Lets Your Plans Fall Apart

    In this episode of The Christian Business Podcast, Josiah shares a raw and honest story about a week that completely fell apart — and the surprising way God used it to reveal one of the most powerful lessons in his entrepreneurial walk. After a campaign suddenly tanked due to unexpected Google changes, stress and frustration hit hard. But in the middle of the chaos, God used a mentor, a moment of prayer, and even a sailboat sitting on Josiah’s shelf to reframe everything. This episode unpacks:  • Why God sometimes lets your “perfect week” collapse  • The deeper purpose behind seasons of struggle and uncertainty  • What the sailboat analogy reveals about surrender, obedience, and divine direction  • How God was moving behind the scenes in ways Josiah never could’ve orchestrated  • A real story of how trials in business led someone on a team closer to Jesus  • Why forcing your own plans (“rowing with your own strength”) leads to storms  • How hoisting your sail — and letting God steer — brings freedom, clarity, and peace If you’ve been grinding, stressing, or feeling overwhelmed in your business, this episode will remind you why relying on God is the only way to navigate the waters of entrepreneurship. Perfect for Christian entrepreneurs who need a reset, a reminder, or a breath of hope.  🔥 Get a Christian Business Mentor for Just $7/Month Stop building alone.
