SUMMARY

Our guest today is James Ruder, former owner of L&R Pallet and current owner of FenceRight, who joins us to share his journey of faith and business transition interviewed by guest podcast hosts Spencer Williams and Jeff Haanen.

In this episode of the Faith & Work Podcast, we explore how selling a business impacts an owner personally, especially when guided by a Kingdom vision. Join us as James reflects on the challenges, emotions, and lessons he’s learned—and how his faith continues to shape his work today.

HIGHLIGHTS

On Selling Your Business:

"It was like someone absolutely died. Here we are trying to make a good business decision the smart thing we’ve talked about, a financial move… it felt like your grandma just died and someone tells you congratulations."

On Kingdom-Minded Work:

"How am I going to use this resource that God’s given us to minister to the people who walk past my office door every day? He just showed us how the missions field can come to us, we don’t have to go to the missions field necessarily…" [Every day was an] “opportunity for impact, what are you going to do with the people that come through your doors?”
