On this episode of The Missional Leader, I sat down with one of my dearest friends and most trusted Kingdom partners, Mart Green. Mart is part of the visionary Green family behind Hobby Lobby and a living example of what it means to steward wealth, influence, and calling for eternal impact.
For over 27 years, Mart and I have journeyed together in ministry. In this conversation, we go deep into the heart of generosity, not just as an act, but as a lifestyle and spiritual posture. Mart shares how his family has built a giving model rooted in unity, where every decision is made prayerfully and collectively.
We talk about:
- How the Green family discerns where to give, and why they vote together as one
- What it means to live out generosity through time, talent, thankfulness, testimony, treasure, and trust
- Overcoming the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life through generosity, humility, and integrity
- What it took to unite 11 CEOs and 5 resource partners to fast-track Bible translation timelines from 2150 to 2033
- How Mart’s grandmother passed down a spirit of sacrificial giving that shapes the Green family today
One of the most powerful insights Mart shared was the reminder that generosity is not measured by the size of the gift but by the heart behind it. His grandmother never had much, but she gave everything she could. That spirit of selfless, sacrificial giving still guides the Green family today.
This episode is a rich well of wisdom for anyone navigating generosity, legacy, and collaboration. Whether you’re leading a global ministry or stewarding a small budget, Mart’s words will challenge you to give more, trust more, and believe God for greater impact for the Gospel.
