In this episode Danielle Waugh, a C12 chair from West Michigan, shares personal stories and practical lessons about integrating faith and work. She opens with a lighthearted backyard-chicken moment that led to discovering her hens were laying, then moves into deeper examples of how businesses can serve the Kingdom in simple, tangible ways.
Danielle describes the "buffalo culture"—a leadership approach that encourages teams to face storms together rather than retreating—and illustrates it with real member stories, including marriage restoration and community impact. She shares vivid examples: a peach grower partnering with a food rescue to feed children, a virtual admin who discovered new purpose and spiritual growth, and a body-shop owner creating space for faith that led to lives changed.
The conversation addresses common barriers leaders face in bringing faith into the workplace—fear, ignorance, and legal concerns—and offers practical steps: start small, find accountability, and create protocols so faith can be expressed responsibly. The episode closes with a prayer based on Ephesians 3:20, encouraging listeners to step forward and trust God to do immeasurably more.
