How the Biblical Business Index Works
A Clear, Principled Approach to Public Policy
A System Built on Clarity and Consistency
The Biblical Business Index (BBI) evaluates legislation and lawmakers using a consistent, transparent framework.
We are not measuring personal beliefs or political identity.
We are evaluating public policy based on whether it:
• Protects freedom
• Respects the proper role of government
• Supports a healthy, functioning marketplace
Every score is based on real votes and real legislation.
“For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.” — Proverbs 2:6
Nationwide Coverage
The BBI operates across the entire country.
Each year, we:
• Review legislation introduced in Congress and all 50 states
• Identify the bills that directly impact employers and the workplace
• Track and verify lawmaker voting records
This ensures you are seeing a complete picture—not a selective one.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” — Colossians 3:23
What We Look At
Not every bill carries the same importance.
The BBI focuses on the policies that have real impact on business owners, including:
• Employment and hiring laws
• Healthcare mandates
• Regulatory requirements
• Tax and economic policy
• Internal business operations
“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” — Proverbs 16:3
How We Evaluate Policy
Each bill is carefully reviewed using a consistent set of factors:
Impact
We look at how significant the policy is:
• Does it create a major change or a minor adjustment?
• How many people or businesses are affected?
• Is it permanent and enforceable?
Real-World Consequences
We consider what the policy actually does:
• Does it increase costs or compliance burdens?
• Does it restrict or protect business decision-making?
“The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” — Proverbs 21:5
The Framework Behind the Index
All policies are evaluated through a consistent standard based on:
• Limited government authority
• Protection of foundational freedoms
• Clear boundaries between government and the individual
To ensure consistency, each policy is also anchored to a relevant scripture reference—bringing God's word back into public policy.
“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” — 2 Corinthians 3:17
The Five Freedoms
The BBI organizes policy into five core areas that directly impact employers:
First Freedom — Faith in the workplace without government coercion
Healthcare Freedom — The ability to offer benefits aligned with your convictions
Operational Freedom — Control over how your business is run
Workforce Freedom — The ability to hire and lead according to your values
Economic Freedom — Freedom from excessive taxation and regulation
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” — Galatians 5:1
How Lawmakers Are Scored
Lawmakers are evaluated based on their actual voting records.
Each score reflects:
• How consistently their votes support limited government
• Whether their decisions protect or restrict freedom in the marketplace
Each lawmaker receives:
• An overall score
• Category scores across the Five Freedoms
“By their fruit you will recognize them.” — Matthew 7:16
Built for Transparency
The Biblical Business Index is designed to be:
Consistent — the same framework applied everywhere
Transparent — based on real votes and public data
Practical — focused on what actually impacts your business
“The truth will set you free.” — John 8:32
