Religion (faith economy) in the United States is worth $1.2 trillion a year and has a higher value than some of the top tech companies in the world.

In this week’s ONE Podcast interview series, Ingrid Vanderveldt dives deep about religion and business with faith economy expert Brian Grim. Brian is the President of the Religious Freedom and Business Foundation and is a leading expert on international religious demography and the socio-economic impact of restrictions on religious freedom. Brian confidently knew that he was called to serve God when he was just four years old and has been on a lifelong mission of spiritual service. During this episode, Brian reveals his journey to becoming Catholic, following God’s voice instead of the "chatter," and remaining faithful even when your “next” isn’t clear.
