An Interview with a CEO - Introductory Episode
Your faith might walk into church on Sunday — but does it walk into your office on Monday?
Most Christian business leaders believe their faith matters at work. But when pressed to name a specific decision shaped by a specific passage of Scripture, a lot of them go quiet. Not because they don't believe — because nobody's shown them how to make that connection.
This launch episode introduces what Profit and Principle is built to do: take you deep into Scripture and bring it directly into the decisions you face every week. Host Darrell Stein is joined by Dr. Peter Stout, CEO of the Houston Forensic Science Center, who shares what 30 years of leading a high-stakes organization has taught him about integrity, courage, and the real cost of doing the right thing.
What You'll Learn:
- Why biblical principles aren't Sunday theory — they're Monday survival tools
- What Proverbs 11:1 reveals about honest business that most leaders never notice
- Why the right decision and the easy decision are almost never the same thing
- How courage, humility, and forgiveness show up as daily leadership disciplines
Scripture Reference:
Proverbs 11:1 — Honest scales and the weight of integrity in the marketplace
Key Quote:
