This discussion requires you to use the USA Spending interactive database to research a specific Small Business Administration (SBA) 7(a) loan, 504 loan, or Microloan. Review the relevant areas of the SBA website and identify a sport, hospitality, or tourism-related SBA Loan award via the USA Spending interactive database.
You can use the filters to search by state, zip code, and year.  Be sure to focus only on SBA capital loan awards, not emergency, COVID relief, or other government agency funding.  Research the specific loan recipient and the SBA loan requirements for the type of loan they used and try to determine how the funds were used, using your best judgment and inference if necessary. Include Biblical integration in the topic with a Scripture connection or reference and citations and references to at least two sources in addition to those provided in the prompt.
