DESCRIPTION:
David Green believes that generosity and building a legacy based on giving can lead to getting back what you really want: a family that stays together, prays together, and shares life joyfully. As proof of how living by those principles can change your life, Green shares that when Hobby Lobby came close to bankruptcy in 1986, and when the Supreme Court challenged the Hobby Lobby's right-to-life beliefs in 2014, the company emerged with its integrity intact.
