Business Before Faith
David Green, the founder of Hobby Lobby, initially focused on building a successful business. However, a profound shift occurred when he decided to integrate his faith into every business decision.

This transformation was rooted in his belief that his business was a means to serve God and impact communities. David began closing his stores on Sundays to allow employees time for worship and rest, a decision that reflected his commitment to faith over profit.

Over time, Hobby Lobby became known not just for its products but for its dedication to Christian values. David's journey illustrates how a focus on faith can transform a business into a platform for ministry and outreach. His story is a testament to how Jesus can bring purpose and direction, not just in personal lives, but in professional endeavors.
