Jesus, Friends, and Running a Small Business
In this episode, we dive into what it really means to run a small business rooted in faith. Using the story of Tyler’s coffee shop, Joe on the Run, we explore how lessons from Jesus, and a few nostalgic nods to the TV show Friends, can guide business owners through the chaos, pressure, and beauty of entrepreneurship. From bottlenecks to burnout, the wisdom of Scripture gives us a better way to navigate decisions, delegate responsibility, and trust that God multiplies what we surrender to Him.
You’ll hear parallels between Biblical stories, like the Feeding of the 5,000 and the Parable of the Shrewd Manager, and real-life challenges like rush-hour inefficiencies, capacity limits, and the need to pivot. Whether you're leading a team or launching a dream, this episode offers practical strategies and spiritual encouragement for anyone trying to honor God while building something meaningful. Pour a cup of coffee, take a breath, and let’s walk through the grind ….together.

The Bible teaches us in Romans 10:9-10 that "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation."
