ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens when a fourth-generation road builder gets dragged to church camp and meets the dirt world pastor? A Jesus movement that's reaching millions across the construction industry.
Jason Richmond shares the wild story of how God orchestrated every detail, from a reluctant Labor Day weekend to BuildWit's courageous decision to bring faith into an industry losing 6,000 people to suicide every year. This conversation will challenge how you think about marketplace ministry and show you what's possible when you respond to God's invitation instead of trying to manufacture your own plan.
WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: ⚡️How a ministry at 5:30 AM grew from 50 to hundreds in three years ⚡️Why BuildWit prayed for a "super Jesusy, non-Jesusy guy" ⚡️The one question that changed Jason's entire career trajectory
This episode captures the raw, authentic beginning of something massive happening in the dirt world, an industry of 10 million workers who feel unseen, work 70-hour weeks, and desperately need hope. If you've ever wondered how faith intersects with the marketplace, this conversation is for you.
