This episode is different. And Josiah wanted you to know that before you press play.

For Episode 25 of The Christian Business Podcast with Josiah Ryan, we are doing something that has never been done on this show. What you are about to hear is not a new recording. This is the original testimony — captured by Josiah shortly after he gave his life to Christ in the summer of 2023. Before the podcast existed. Before the brand existed. Before any of this was built.

This is where it started.

In his own words, fresh from one of the most defining moments of his life, Josiah tells the full story. A childhood defined by constant moves and instability. The death of a cousin who meant everything to him. A descent into drugs, alcohol, and a crowd so entrenched in the occult that Josiah witnessed possession, demonic activity, and what he describes as invisible forces physically throwing people — with his own eyes. A stint at Teen Challenge, a Christ-centered rehab, where he watched some of the most broken men alive — including a trafficker and pimp in his 80s — hand everything over to Jesus and walk out transformed.

And then July 27, 2023. Doing the dishes. A voice. His knees hit the floor. And a vision that showed him two businesses, a darkening world, thousands of tanks moving in preparation for something massive, spiritual warfare on a scale most people are not ready to face — and one word that has driven every single episode of this show since:

God is calling strong Christian men to lead.

This recording also captures the exact moment God gave Josiah the name of this podcast during a 21-day spiritual fast — and the story of how that name was still available when he searched for it minutes after prayer.

Twenty-five episodes in, you are finally hearing the moment that made all of it possible.

Josiah recorded a special intro for this episode so you understand exactly what you are listening to and why it matters. Then you hear the testimony exactly as it was captured — raw, real, and anointed.
