Standing Firm Through the Fire After Billions: David Green on Faith & Resilience

In this episode of the Build It to Billions podcast, Brett Swarts interviews David Green, the founder of Hobby Lobby, discussing his journey of building a $600 startup into an $8 billion company, grounded in faith, stewardship, and resilience. David shares key moments of his life and leadership, including his commitment to biblical principles in business, the pivotal decision to fight the U.S. government over a religious liberty issue, and the importance of stewardship over ownership.

David emphasizes the role of prayer, faith, and listening to the Holy Spirit in his daily business decisions, sharing stories of how these practices have guided him through challenging situations. He also touches on his passion for spreading the gospel, including his involvement in the Bible Museum and translation projects, and how he views his wealth as a tool for God's work rather than personal gain.

The conversation highlights the importance of simplicity in business operations, the power of delegation, and maintaining focus on what truly matters—serving God and making an eternal impact.
