Christian McDaniel was a Chick-fil-A general manager, chasing his dream of becoming an owner operator. Then, in a Starbucks bathroom, he told God, “I’ll do whatever you want me to do.” Less than a month later, he found out he hadn’t been selected.
That closed door led him to build a tower climbing company from scratch and, eventually, into ministry. Today he is the Associate Pastor of Connections at Bridge Church in Virginia Beach. He teaches the Business as Mission track at Bridge School of Ministry, and he founded Launchpad.
