Ep.1- Building Faith at the Storehouse

What happens when biblical principles become the foundation of a building supply business? The Storehouse in Lincolnton offers a refreshing glimpse into a thriving company where faith isn't just acknowledged—it's celebrated and integrated into every aspect of operations.

Founded in Pembroke, Georgia in 2014 and expanded to Lincolnton last July, The Storehouse sells everything from doors and floors to cabinetry, composite decking, and metal roofing at prices that consistently undercut big box competitors. But what truly sets this company apart is their unwavering commitment to Christian values.

Meet the team that makes it all possible: Madison, the five-year veteran who serves as "the glue" across departments; Ashley, who embraces the challenges of her first sales role in this God-centered environment; Bill Long, the general manager known as "Wild Bill" for his incredible deals; and most uniquely, Rodney, the company chaplain who prayer-walks the showroom daily, blessing each product before it leaves the store.

The company's very identity stems from Deuteronomy 28:12—"The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty"—a scripture revealed to the founder as divine inspiration for the business. This spiritual foundation extends beyond their walls through community service initiatives, particularly during Thanksgiving when they assist families in need.

Perhaps most remarkably, Chaplain Rodney encourages customers to write scriptures on their interior walls before finishing construction, ensuring blessings remain literally built into their homes. It's just one example of how The Storehouse merges practical home improvement with spiritual enrichment, creating a unique shopping experience where customers find not just products, but purpose.

Ready to experience the difference? Visit The Storehouse in Lincolnton for unbeatable prices and service that reflects a higher calling. When you're building or renovating, why settle for less than materials blessed with prayer and purpose?

in the land and season and blessit all and for the work of his

(07:43):
hands, deuteronomy 28, 12.
And I was able to start withthe company as a single, just
contractor and things justworked out through the Lord.
That opened the door for me tocome to work for the company and

(08:07):
now I do media specialists andthings of that nature and just
do a lot of praying for thecompany and do a lot of prayer
walks here at the store.
And right now I'm up here inthe storehouse, lincolnton, and
just doing the Lord's work.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Is it true?
You pray over every door, everypiece of?

Speaker 2 (08:20):
thing that we sell in this place.
Yeah, when I came in thismorning I took a walk and walked
even all through the cabinetsdown there, Just praying for
everything and pray overblessings upon houses as they
purchased the lumber and thedoors, the exterior doors, and
just pray blessings upon thehomes.
And I always recommend, whenpeople come in if I'm able to

(08:42):
share with them and talk to themthat they have church members
and family members on theinterior walls of their house.
Take magic markers and writescriptures on them and on the
doorway of the house, putscriptures on it and as they put
their doors in, thosescriptures will always be within
the walls of their house.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
It's a pretty cool, pretty cool idea.
I think that's an amazing ideabecause I'm telling you it's
done the other way around too.
Yeah, it is so.
Uh, you definitely have to prayover your house when you move
in, or pray over a hotel roomwhen you, when you check in, and
because you never know.
You know, that's an amazingthing.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Storehouse does a great job at sharing with the
public and doing great things.
Around Thanksgiving time we doa lot of work with the needy and
feed a lot of families andthings of that nature, and we
just do a lot of work in thecommunity trying to help out,
