“I am on a mission, and my work is worship.” David Benham
We’ve got some very special guests with us today… David and Lori Benham!
David Benham is one half of The Benham Brothers. David and his twin brother, Jason Benham, are former professional baseball players, nationally acclaimed entrepreneurs and best- selling authors.
Their family’s first real big success happened through their real estate business which grew to 100 offices in 35 states. Their company topped several charts, including Inc. Magazine‘s “Fastest Growing Companies”, The Wall Street Journal‘s “Top 5 Real Estate Agents in America” list, and the US Chamber of Commerce’s “Top Small Business of the Year”.
All of this led to a huge opportunity–a reality show on HGTV in 2014. (More on that later…hint: there’s a plot twist). The Benham Brothers have also appeared on Fox Business, ABC Nightline, CNN, Fox News, and Good Morning America.
Inspired by the many lessons they learned along the way, the brothers launched Expert Ownership, a coaching program for Christian entrepreneurs to help them make a bigger impact on the world, both financially and in terms of their faith.
The Benham families have obviously had huge success in their businesses, but–I’ll tell you what–the thing that most impresses me about them is that their top priority throughout all this time has been their Lord Jesus Christ and their families.
In this episode, we cover
- How it all started with a little lawn mowing business
- Why living the Christian faith, not just talking about it, takes real guts (you will be tested)
- How working as a janitor while he started his business on the side taught David that you are not what you do, you are who you are in Christ.
- Why the Benhams build their businesses “relationally, not transactionally”.
- Plus: Business evangelism?–what it is and why it might be the BEST way to reach people today
