David Green, founder of Hobby Lobby, started with a $600 loan and grew Hobby Lobby into more than 1,000 stores, generating billions in revenue.

In this episode of Unscrolled, host Matthias Walther sits down with David Green and Bill High, his family’s legacy advisor and CEO of Legacy Stone. Together, they explore how the Green family built their “family constitution,” why they give away 50% of Hobby Lobby’s profits, and how they are shaping a multi-generational impact through intentional planning and biblical principles.

Philip Yancey is an American author who grew up in a strict fundamentalist Christian home, which led to a mistrust and eventually deconstruction of his faith. Yancey turned his attention to books and the Bible and eventually began to reconstruct his faith in God. Join Unscrolled host Matthias Walther as he talks to author Philip Yancey about his faith journey, upbringing, and how his writing and reading helped reconstruct his faith.
Guest bio:
Philip Yancey is a Christian, American author who has written 36 books, selling over 15 million copies. Philip Yancey grew up in a strict, fundamentalist church in the South, where he viewed God as a punishing figure and witnessed contradictions in teachings of love and grace. After his father died of polio despite fervent prayers, Yancey wrestled with faith, finding solace and new perspectives in books like “To Kill a Mockingbird” and C. S. Lewis’s works. He felt betrayed by the church’s racism and dogma, eventually discarding his beliefs and later rediscovering a faith marked by beauty and goodness. As a writer, he pursued answers to deep spiritual questions in bestsellers like “Disappointment with God,” and “What’s So Amazing aAbout Grace?,” often drawing from his own journey and guiding readers with similar struggles. His memoir, “Where the Light Fell,” recounts this personal evolution, while his life’s work aims to connect with those who feel marginalized by traditional religion.
