"God owns my business." These powerful words from Rick Warren, President of Weldaloy Specialty Forgings , remind us how faith and business can align to serve a greater purpose. Grove9 Founder + Chief Brand Strategist Justin Eklund shares these words from his book, Brand for Impact, highlighting part of the conversation with Rick. Faced with opportunities to sell his company, Rick chose obedience over profit, boldly declaring his business belongs to God. His vision to glorify God as a faithful steward while demonstrating Christ's love permeates every aspect of his company, from its operations to how it treats employees. "I decided my business wasn't mine. It was God's," said Rick. "Over the years we've had multiple opportunities to sell the business where my family could have been pretty comfortable for the rest of our lives. The private equity people and the strategic buyers cannot believe I have no interest in selling." To hear more from Rick Warren, see the conversation on our Grove9 site. https://lnkd.in/gV6e3sBn For a closer glimpse at the Weldaloy team and their leadership, read this Press Release. https://lnkd.in/g2eHFpAk.
