Show by Lead to Win
In this episode of Lead to Win, Pastor Jeff Little sits down with Hobby Lobby founder David Green and Bill High for a conversation about success, stewardship, generosity, purpose, and building a legacy that lasts.David shares how Hobby Lobby grew from a $600 loan into a business with more than 1,100 stores and roughly $10 billion in annual sales—and why his family made the decision to view everything they have as something entrusted to them by God. He explains the journey toward giving away 60% of the company’s profits, why his family chose not to treat Hobby Lobby as an inheritance, and how they’ve worked to pass down purpose rather than simply wealth.They also discuss finding purpose in business, developing a generational family vision, taking care of employees, staying engaged in meaningful work, and why every leader—not just pastors—should see their work as a calling.Whether you lead a business, church, team, or family, this conversation will challenge you to ask a bigger question about success: What is everything you’re building actually for?TIMESTAMPS:0:00 - The $20,000 Challenge From God2:00 - Why David Green Is Here5:20 - From Pastor’s Kid To $600 Start10:30 - Profit As A Means To Mission14:50 - Learning To Give Toward 60%20:30 - When Success Feels Like A Weight23:50 - Signing Away Ownership For The Kingdom27:40 - Why The Business Still Stays Fun30:50 - The Bible As David’s “MyPad”33:10 - Team Culture And Paying People Well36:30 - Building A True Family Legacy40:00 - Commissioning Business Leaders With Purpose43:00 - The Legacy Life And Final ChargeLEAD TO WIN RESOURCESMore Resources: https://leadtowin.com/Win With People: https://leadtowin.com/pages/win-with-...Register for Lead to Win Conference: https://leadersgathering.leadtowin.com/Information on Milestone Church: https://milestonechurch.com/FIND US AT:https://leadtowin.comGET IN TOUCH:Contact us at [email protected] PASTOR JEFFInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jefflittle/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pastorjefflittleFOLLOW LEAD TO WINInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadto.win/bumper-verify-f5deb1fa
