Friday was an incredible morning at our Faith Driven Entrepreneur Conference Watch Party!
Gathering with local business leaders around this year's core theme, "Build for More," was a powerful reminder that true success in the marketplace isn't about chasing human applause or building earthly empires. Instead, we are called to lead with humble ambition—stewarding our businesses, teams, and resources to glorify God and advance His Kingdom.
A Huge Thank You to Our Local Partners: ⛪ Corinth Reformed Church — Thank you for opening your doors and providing such a welcoming venue for our Hickory community to gather, connect, and pray together. 🍳 Golden Corral Buffet & Grill — Thank you for generously sponsoring our hot breakfast and fueling our morning of fellowship!
Grateful for World-Class Wisdom & Inspiration: We were deeply challenged by the speakers who showed us what humble ambition looks like in action:
John Maxwell on cultivating intentional, values-based leadership and challenging us to “Pick a Number”
David Green on radical stewardship within building Lobby, and how to transfer his wealth and values to the next generation.
Iyinoluwa "E" Aboyeji on pursuing market excellence and Kingdom vision in high-growth ventures to transform Africans in the 21st century.
Chris Tomlin & his wife Lauren for sharing their vulnerable stories of faith, family, stewardship, and surrendering control to God.
A Special Note of Gratitude to the Founders: A heartfelt thank you to Faith Driven Entrepreneur co-founders Henry Kaestner and Justin Forman. Thank you for your vision and leadership in building this global movement, reminding entrepreneurs everywhere to reject isolation and Build for More.
As we step back into our companies this week, let’s carry this humble ambition into every meeting, decision, and interaction—knowing that our work in the marketplace has eternal purpose!
