Summary

Faith Ventures welcomes Mark Whitaker, Vice President of Culture and Care at Coca-Cola Consolidated, to share a fascinating journey of Christian faith in the workplace. Mark tells us how the company changed dramatically under the leadership of Chairman and CEO Frank Harrison, who implemented a mission statement to honor God in all they do. Listeners will learn how Coca-Cola Consolidated integrated faith-based initiatives like chaplains at every plant, prayer groups, discipleship programs, and a rapid response team to support employees during crises. We also discuss how others can learn from that example and apply it in their own work and businesses. Mark also opens up about his personal story, from scaling the heights of corporate America driven by ambition and material success, to becoming a Christian after exposing a major price-fixing scandal—and later finding a new calling in servant leadership. Through candid storytelling, practical advice, and encouragement, this episode highlights how businesses of any size can foster a culture rooted in faith, service, and significance. Whether you’re an executive, entrepreneur, or employee, Mark’s message will challenge you to become salt and light in your own workplace, pursuing a life of significance for the glory of God.
