How are you prioritizing God in your business? In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, Doug, and Matthew discuss: Doug’s journey from growing up on the fragile fringe to building his own business, allowing him to serve others. Listening when God directs your steps. The joy that comes with hard work. Expressing the love of God to your employees and clients. Key Takeaways: God will stretch us and strengthen us. As we steward His resources, He will lead and direct. It’s about honoring God in all things and building His kingdom. Let God lead you in all things. Start your day with faith and turn to Him. Put Him first every single morning, even when you’re running late to work. Align your company values to God’s kingdom and bring everyone in. He will lead you to places you could never consider. "If God could be for you, what can stand against? If you feel like God is leading you into something, you have to be faithful in that. There’s really no other way to live life." — Doug Bragg Episode References: Homes For HOPE: https://homes4hope.org/ Sticky Faith: Everyday Ideas to Build Lasting Faith in Your Kids by Dr. Kara E Powell & Dr. Chap Clark - https://www.amazon.com/Sticky-Faith-Everyday-Ideas-Lasting/dp/0310329329 About Doug Bragg: I am a dedicated husband and a father to six children, cherishing every moment spent coaching them in soccer. My deep-rooted faith in Jesus is a cornerstone of my life, I find immense fulfillment in serving the Lord. Embracing the beauty of nature, I actively seek outdoor adventures and strive to live each day to its fullest. In addition to my family and personal interests, I am deeply committed to my role as the owner of Living Stones Masonry. This business serves as a platform to integrate biblical principles into my work, reflecting on my belief that success in life often requires a willingness to endure financial setbacks and surrender your situations to Jesus. This principle extends beyond business decisions and permeates my approach to life's challenges. Through my actions and words, I teach my children and others the importance of not merely reacting to life's trials based on societal norms but rather, responding in accordance with the teachings of the Bible. This fundamental approach shapes my interactions with others, my business practices, and my parenting, instilling in my children a strong moral compass and a deep-seated faith that guides them through life's journey.
