Stop Missing What God Is Placing Right in Front of You

In this episode, BJ unpacks a simple Beanie Baby story that reveals a much bigger truth: sometimes God’s provision is already right in front of us, but we overlook it because we’re distracted, rushed, or expecting it to arrive in a different form.

BJ walks through three key ideas that help Christian business owners become more aware of what God is doing in their daily environments. First, busyness can blind us. Like Martha in Luke 10:40, we often become so focused on tasks and goals that we stop discerning the spiritual nudges happening around us. Second, God’s opportunities rarely show up the way we imagine them. Isaiah 55:8 reminds us that His ways don’t always match our expectations, which means provision may arrive through a new contact, a business shift, or something small we would normally ignore. Third, stewardship requires sensitivity. Proverbs 3:6 calls us to acknowledge Him in all our ways, which is a reminder that leadership isn’t just about income—it’s about being attentive to impact.

BJ closes the episode with a simple challenge: What if the opportunity you’ve been praying for is already in your inbox, in a conversation, or inside your current relationships—but you haven’t noticed it because it didn’t look like your plan? Take a moment this week to ask God to show you what He’s already placed right in front of you. Sometimes the real breakthrough is learning to see the small things He’s using to guide your next step.
