Generous Business Practices
Business for the Common Good 2020
What does it mean to be a truly generous business leader? How does this impact our sense of identity and ownership? How much money should we give away, and how much should we keep? Do ancient Old Testament practices like gleaning have relevance for how we think about hiring, investing, and “successful” businesses? What kind of investment returns should we target? This session considers how a deep sense of generosity transform our culture as well as our hearts.
With more than six hours of expert teaching from industry leaders, Business for the Common Good On-Demand is valued at more than $250.

Barnhart Crane and Rigging Company is a Heavy Lifting and Heavy Transport company based in Memphis, TN with offices in 20 cities in the US. By God’s grace,the company has grown an average of 22% per year for 28 years. Barnhart provides services to heavy industry and construction, focusing on power plants (wind, nuclear, and fossil fuel) and the petrochemical industry. Alan’s fear of affluence caused him to cap his lifestyle. His passion for missions has taken him to over 50 countries. The company profits are invested in strategic missions. Barnhart team members and spouses take part in the decision-making process. Over 50 team members have traveled internationally in that effort. Alan has an amazing wife, Katherine, and 6 children (28, 25, 23, 21, 18, and 15) and two daughters-in-law. He is active at First Evangelical Church and the Boy Scouts.
