Our Call to create
Chapter 1: “Not Dead Yet”
While serving as a missionary and English instructor in Mexico, Dave Munson started a side business out of the back of his truck. Today, he and his wife, Suzette, own and operate a high-end leather goods business that has attracted a dedicated following for the beauty and quality of its products
IDENTITY IN CHRIST
Chapter 2: “Finding Your Entrepreneurial Identity”
Phil Vischer, author, filmmaker, and creator of VeggieTales, shares how the rise and fall of his first “Big Idea” led him to a new understanding of identity and what it means to be rooted in a relationship with Christ. Watch him share the importance of keeping your business from becoming your identity.
STEWARDSHIP VS. OWNERSHIP
Chapter 3: “Jailhouse Business of Generosity”
Watch Pete Ochs, CEO of Seat King, talk about how a new understanding of generosity and stewardship changed his business and his life. After 15 years on this generosity journey, he is sharing more than money with local inmates who are proving that the power of generosity can change lives and our world.
IN PARTNERSHIP
Chapter 4: Partnering with Excellence
David Morken shares how the early days of Republic Wireless and Bandwidth showed him the importance of excellence and creating a shared culture that reflected the leadership’s desire to be out there “slaying dragons.”
DON’T WORSHIP WORK
Chapters 5: “For Our People”
Watch the story of Point B— a consulting firm that is breaking down the stereo- types of exhausted and overworked consultants by creating a healthy work-life balance for their entire company.
FAITH, FAMILY, WORK AND FITNESS
Chapter 6: “Work Life Balance in Business”
Henry Kaestner and David Morken talk about the values of Bandwidth, a successful internet connectivity business. David, John and others in the company share how their work/life/family balance philosophies and practices follow Christian values.
EXCELLANCE MATTERS
Chapter 7: “Driving Trust”
Don Flow does business differently: all dealer information is available to the consumer. If a repair is not done properly or on time, the company eats any additional costs, and every used car sold has a 100,000 mile warranty. This framework for operation comes from a simple theological principle: treat your customer as your neighbor.
FAITHFUL VS. WILLFUL
Chapter 8: “God Loves Cabinets”
Steve Bell, President and CEO of Bellmont Cabinets, leads a cabinet manufacturing company that has won numerous awards for high quality, innovation, community impact, and service. But Steve’s journey has been far from easy: two near bankruptcies served as crucibles to form his faith and lead him to a new understanding of how God measures success.
MINISTRY IN DEED
Chapter 9: “People Can”
Camcraft is a family-owned, precision-manufacturing company in Chicago with a mission “to glorify God.” They have learned to thrive in a competitive market by using automation to grow the company AND enlarge and improve people’s jobs. Their commitment to people is a form of ministry in action as a part of their holistic approach to supporting employees’ lives.
MINISTRY IN WORD
Chapter 10: “Beauty Out of Brokenness”
So much of ministry in word is about sharing the hard parts of your story. Few people model that better than John and Ashley Marsh. Watch the story of how God brought them through a trial that almost ended in divorce and suicide back to the work he had for them.
FROM EVERYWHERE TO EVERYWHERE
Chapter 11: “Every Sseko Has a Story”
When Liz Bohannon took a trip to Uganda, she had no ideas for a business. All she knew she wanted to do was to help people. This is her story of how an education gap in Ugandan women combined with a creative sandal-making idea has turned into a global mission-focused business.
