We started with nothing but a bold idea, relentless faith, and a calling we can’t ignore. We thought we were just building a brand. But God was building us.
In this powerful conversation, we reveal the raw, unfiltered story of how FORDIVINE HQ was built—the real challenges, divine guidance, and pivotal decisions that shaped our path as entrepreneurs and partners in marriage.
You’ll discover:
- The emotional cost of building a business with your spouse
- How to know when your vision is really from God
- What to do when you’re in the “messy middle” and nothing makes sense
- How FORDIVINE HQ went from idea to a 5,200 sq ft headquarters
- Why spiritual obedience leads to real-world provision
