In this episode of the Business God's Way podcast, Jeff explores the story of John the Baptist from the book of John, chapter 3. He delves into how John the Baptist's humility and understanding of his role in God's plan can serve as a lesson for entrepreneurs. Jeff challenges listeners to shift their focus from competition and jealousy to paving the way for Jesus in their businesses.
Key Takeaways:Humility Over Competition: John the Baptist teaches us the importance of humility in acknowledging that all we have is a gift from God. This principle is crucial in business, where competition and jealousy can easily cloud our judgment.Understanding Your Role: John knew his role was to prepare the way for Jesus, not to be the main event. Similarly, entrepreneurs should understand their role in God's bigger plan and focus on fulfilling that purpose.The Joy of Decreasing: John found joy in seeing Jesus' ministry take the forefront, understanding that he must decrease for Jesus to increase. This perspective can bring peace and joy to business owners as they see others succeed in their respective callings.Focus on Kingdom Impact: The ultimate goal should be to make a Kingdom impact through your business. This means laying aside distractions and comparisons to focus on what God has called you to do.
This episode serves as a reminder that our businesses are not about us but about paving the way for Jesus. As you navigate the challenges and opportunities in your entrepreneurial journey, may you find joy in decreasing so that He may increase. Stay focused on the mission God has given you, and remember, it's all for His glory. If you have any questions or prayer requests, feel free to reach out to Jeff on Instagram at Jeff Elder BGW.

In this deeply personal and transformative episode, Jeff takes listeners through his journey of finding purpose and strength in his faith, particularly after hitting a low point in his life and business. After attending a Christian men's retreat, he realigned his spiritual and business paths, leading to the birth of "Business God's Way". Today, Jeff's mission is to guide other Christian entrepreneurs to integrate God into their business practices rather than pushing Him out, and thereby avoid the pitfalls of straying from divine guidance.
Main Takeaways:
Turning Point: Jeff attended a Christian men's retreat at his lowest, which became his turning point. There, he felt God's forgiveness and a renewed motivation to mend their relationship, despite the challenges along the way.God’s Way in Business: Jeff believes that integrating God's guidance into business practices is crucial. His business name, "Business God's Way," resulted from this revelation, emphasizing the importance of letting divine wisdom lead entrepreneurial journeys.Understanding Missteps: Even as he strives to follow the divine path, Jeff acknowledges the occasional faltering and the vital ability to recognize when he has not included God in his daily business decisions. He underscores the importance of acknowledging such moments as a key part of spiritual growth.The Purpose of Challenges: Following God's way does not eliminate problems or challenges. However, it means understanding that one is walking with God, who will provide the necessary support and guidance through difficulties.
To wrap up, Jeff shares his main lessons: God will make a way when there seems to be none; one should pursue God in everything to avoid destructive paths; and doing business God's way by allowing God to lead is essential. He reminds his listeners of their individual purpose and encourages them to trust, turn to, and embrace God even when life seems hopeless. His final message remains, "Continue to do business God's way."
