In this episode of The Grand Weaver, Eric sits down with Barry Meguiar, founder of Ignite America, to explore a powerful story of faith, purpose, and obedience. From growing up in a family deeply rooted in Christianity to leading a successful business in car care products, Barry’s journey reflects a life shaped by the voice of God and a calling greater than personal success.

Barry shares how his business became a pulpit for ministry, a platform to evangelize through everyday interactions. He explains the radical shift from entrepreneurship to nonprofit work, highlighting how obedience to God’s call—even when it disrupts comfort—can lead to eternal impact. Barry challenges listeners to see their own lives as ministry, where sharing faith isn’t just a role for pastors but a mission for all believers.

This conversation is a heartfelt call to love those both outside and inside the church, live boldly with purpose, and influence the next generation with the joy of redemption.
