## Resource

David Green never intended to build a billion-dollar empire. The son of a pastor, he just wanted to be a store manager at the local five-and-dime. But God had different plans. From making miniature frames in his garage with his two young sons to standing before the Supreme Court defending religious freedom, David's journey reveals what true stewardship looks like in business.
