In the world of business, a few companies stand out not just for their financial success but also for their commitment to Christian values. Companies like Chick-fil-A, Hobby Lobby, and In-N-Out have become icons of how faith can be integrated into business practices. At Kingdom Advisors International, these companies serve as role models, inspiring us in our mission to advise businesses through the lens of Biblical principles. This blog post will explore how these companies incorporate Christian values into their business models and how they inspire our work.
Christian Values in Business
Chick-fil-A: Closed on Sundays
Chick-fil-A is renowned for its policy of being closed on Sundays. This decision, rooted in the founder’s Christian faith, allows employees to have a day of rest and worship. Despite losing a day of business each week, Chick-fil-A has seen tremendous success, proving that ethical decisions can also be good for business.
Hobby Lobby: Ethical Investments
Hobby Lobby is another example of a company that puts its Christian values front and center. The company invests in ethical funds and has even taken legal action to protect its religious freedoms. Their commitment to Christian principles is evident in every aspect of their business, from employee benefits to the products they sell.
In-N-Out: Bible Verses on Packaging
In-N-Out Burger prints Bible verses on its packaging, a subtle yet powerful way of sharing its Christian faith. This practice has garnered both attention and respect, showing that it’s possible to be open about your faith without alienating customers.
