More than a Hobby - David Green the CEO of Hobby Lobby

Yesterday I had the chance to spend time with David Green, the CEO of Hobby Lobby, his son Steve Green the President and David's grandson Tyler.


I have such respect for the numerous ways they are using the opportunities in the business itself to impact their team and the world for Christ. They're bold, passionate yet humbled by the ways they've seen God work.


Stories like Hobby Lobby are such an inspiration for people to see their work as an opportunity for worship and its fun to see how it can inspire others to make a difference.


On the drive home yesterday I was reminded how much I enjoyed reading David's story. Its a great story of how they grew from a small start up in the garage into nearly 490 stores across the country while holding true to their mission and God's values.

Betenbough Homes of West Texas Combining Business and Ministry


Betenbough Believe Video from Betenbough Marketplace Ministry on Vimeo.


A little over a year ago I heard the story of Betenbough homes in West Texas. They're on of the top 100 homebuilders in America and they loves Jesus. I've enjoyed connecting with Jon Jackson and others on their team to learn more about the work God has been doing. 


Its exciting to see how from they've gone from a business that primarily was hoping to make money for missions (business for missions) to seeing the potential to live out the mission in the business itself. 


There's a lot more to come in the months ahead that we'll be sharing about them on the site. Some opportunities to hear their story in person at an event here in Dallas and a short video 4-5 minute video of their story that you can play in your church on a Sunday morning or pass around to your friends. 


In the meantime, grab some popcorn sit back and check out this longer video of their journey to see work as an opportunity for worship.
