In this episode of The Christian Business Podcast, Josiah Ryan shares an honest and unscripted breakdown of hard-earned lessons from his entrepreneurial journey — lessons about ego, loss, money, and trusting God instead of striving for control.

This episode is especially powerful for entrepreneurs in their first five years of business, but seasoned business owners will also recognize the truth behind Josiah’s stories of success, failure, and rebuilding. He cuts through hustle culture, get-rich-quick promises, and approval-seeking, replacing them with biblical clarity, long-term perspective, and faith-centered wisdom.

Listeners will learn why money is temporary, why business is never easy, how God uses both success and loss to shape us, and why true peace comes from surrendering control and allowing God to be the potter while we remain the clay.

If you’re navigating uncertainty, rebuilding after loss, or learning how to trust God in business, this episode will reset your perspective and encourage you to keep moving forward with faith at the center.

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.
