Mike Duke spent years in senior leadership for Walmart, ultimately serving as CEO from 2009-2013. At the moment he took over the global economy was in the midst of significant upheaval, and rapid change was affecting the retail industry. In the early years, he pioneered a push for more online sales, bringing Walmart into a new era of growth and profitability. But more than the practical aspects of his leadership, Mike has always been marked by two principal characteristics, his humility and his love for his employees. Join us today and listen as Dan explores with Mike what it’s like to lead a company of 2 million employees while doing justice and loving mercy.  To find out more about Dr. Dan Doriani and the Center for Faith and Work, visit our website.

Alan Barnhart inherited his family's business and, alongside his brother, has grown a relatively small regional business into a nationwide one. Over the past 34 years, he developed several principles that are at the core of how they operate. They give away nearly half their yearly profit, and they task their employees with helping determine where the money goes. Alan sees this as good stewardship and a way to love the communities in which his company operates. As you will hear in today’s episode, he cares deeply about his employees, community, and business. He feels a tremendous sense of responsibility for the work that God has entrusted him with. We hope you enjoy today’s conversation.

We are fascinated by restaurant culture; from celebrity chef’s, to cooking competitions, to fancy food photography, or finding out the latest hottest place to open in our neighborhood. But behind the facade is the hard day to day work of running a restaurant, managing people, and perhaps most importantly offering true hospitality. Today, Dan talks with two restaurateurs from St. Louis, Jim Fiala and Mike Duffy. They run quite different styles of establishments, one fine dining, the other a casual sports pub. Despite the difference in their establishments, they are both informed and shaped by their faith.

In today’s podcast Dan interviews Rico Tice, an Anglican evangelist and perhaps best known for his book, Christianity Explored. Mr. Tice was born in Chile, raised in Uganda, and educated in England. He joined All Souls church in London, under the leadership of John Stott in 1994.

Mentorship is much like planting a seed and nurturing it’s growth, tending to it until it bears fruit. As Steven Garber says, mentorship is the act of bringing one into vocation over the course of their life. As part of the burden of mentorship there is a deeper recognition that all of life falls under the Lordship of Christ. Dan and Steven acknowledge their influences from Lesslie Newbigin to Michael Polyani to Abraham Kuyper, and along the way they discuss everything from marketing, to knowing, hiking, politics, and their aesthetic sensibilities.
