David Green never intended to build a billion-dollar empire. The son of a pastor, he just wanted to be a store manager at the local five-and-dime. But God had different plans. From making miniature frames in his garage with his two young sons to standing before the Supreme Court defending religious freedom, David’s journey reveals what true stewardship looks like in business.

At 84, he still serves as CEO of Hobby Lobby, still carries his paper “MyPad” instead of using a computer, and still believes the best days are ahead. In this deeply personal conversation, David shares the pivotal moments that transformed his understanding of ownership, the family framework that keeps 48 members aligned around eternal values, and why giving away half of all earnings has been the best business decision they ever made.

Join host John Coleman for an intimate conversation with NASCAR Hall of Famer Carl Edwards, recorded at the Main Street Summit in Carl’s hometown of Columbia, Missouri.

Carl Edwards achieved everything he dreamed of—magazine covers, championship contention, fame, wealth. Then he walked away from a multi-million dollar contract at age 36, leaving fans and the racing world stunned. This conversation reveals why.

Carl takes us from his father’s Volkswagen shop in Columbia, Missouri, through the entrepreneurial grind of breaking into NASCAR, to the intoxicating heights of fame and the devastating realization that he’d built his identity on sand. He shares the moment that changed everything: a phone call with someone struggling with alcoholism that made him see his future with terrifying clarity.

But the story doesn’t end with retirement. Carl opens up about the identity crisis that followed, how a dystopian book club led to an unexpected encounter with God, and why he now sees every miracle in his life—including the ones he attributed to his own hustle—as evidence of divine orchestration.

What happens when an entrepreneur who fell away from faith encounters Jesus in silence and decides to build a prayer app with $10? Alex Jones shares Hallow’s extraordinary journey from a personal spiritual awakening to becoming the #1 app in the Apple App Store—surpassing tech giants like Amazon, YouTube, and Netflix during Lent.
