In the fast food industry, this includes determining everything from the temperature to cook the meat, all the way to the chemical that should be used to clean the bathroom mirrors. This opens the door for us to allow our employees to show Christ's love in their daily tasks, our managers to govern their employees in a Christ-like manner, and our upper level management to do the same. .
The third stage of the process is the physical act of running the business. As an entrepreneur, your job now requires you to become a frontline worker. After the market analysis and formation of the business, entrepreneurs have to get their hands dirty in the operation of the business. This is the biggest opportunity an entrepreneur has to express his Christian Worldview to those around him. In Deuteronomy 24:14 we are reminded as to how we are to treat those working for us as any form of boss whether an entrepreneur or a manager working on the frontline. "You shall not oppress a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the sojourners who are in your land within your towns.".
When looking at some of the most successful businesses in recent history, we typically find one of three things; corrupt leadership gnashing their way to the top, basic high moral standing among the upper level management, or an entrepreneur who had powerful ideas and a strong Christian Worldview. Among this list of Christian entrepreneurs stand giants such as John D. Rockefeller of Standard Oil, Anthony Rossi of Tropicana, Mary Kay Ash of Mary Kay Cosmetics, and David Green of Hobby Lobby. All of these men and women made huge impacts in their sects of the marketplace. Possibly the most outspoken Christian Entrepreneur of our time, and possibly even history, is S. Truett Cathy, the founder of Chick-fil-a. Upon inspection of his involvement in the creation, formation, and daily interactions in the business, you find a Christian man seeking to glorify God while living out an entrepreneurial spirit.
