Finding God When You Are About to Lose Your Business | Shawn Black | Forged with Zach Fontaine

from Forged · host Zach Fontaine

In this episode of the Forged Podcast, Zach Fontaine sits down with Shawn Black, founder of Sheepdog Brew Co., for a raw conversation about what it actually takes to be a man of faith in today's world. Proverbs tells us that iron sharpens iron, and this discussion proves exactly why strong Christian brotherhood is the ultimate catalyst for personal and professional growth. Shawn spent over a decade on the frontlines as a police officer and military combat engineer, absorbing the darkest parts of the city. He shares his gripping journey from battling severe depression and addiction to experiencing a radical transformation through the grace of Jesus. When his rapidly growing nitro cold brew business was on the verge of bankruptcy, Shawn realized that true masculine toughness isn't about maintaining absolute control, it is about surrendering your life, and your livelihood, to God.
