Faithly Stories

Ever wondered how faith and entrepreneurship intersect to transform lives? Join us as we uncover the inspiring journey of Bryan Jernigan, a devoted husband, father, and web designer, whose Southern Baptist upbringing and the profound influence of his grandfather, a preacher, have intricately shaped his spiritual and entrepreneurial paths. At just 12 years old, Bryan's calling was ignited during a church revival, setting the stage for a life marked by both spiritual growth and business acumen. Through candid reflections, he shares the joys and trials of growing up with divorced parents and how these experiences fortified his faith and character.

Journey alongside us through the poignant chapters of navigating faith and relationships, especially after the upheaval of parental divorce. Discover how stepping away from the church for a decade, due to perceived hypocrisy and the absence of a consistent male role model, eventually led to a refreshing and vibrant reconnection with faith through a non-denominational church. Bryan also opens up about meeting his wife in this renewed community, and how these personal connections and experiences reshaped his faith and outlook on life, revealing a deeper understanding of love, trust, and community.

Explore the theme of trusting in God's plan amid uncertainties and financial challenges, particularly highlighted by Bryan's career transition from coaching to business ownership. Despite the comfort of job stability, he courageously embraced change, realizing that financial security had become an idol. Through testing times, the power of community support and timely divine reminders played pivotal roles in reinforcing his faith. From initiating a private school to sharing experiences of rural and urban life, Bryan's journey underscores the unifying and transformative power of shared faith, illustrating how it bridges cultural and geographical divides, drawing people together in pursuit of a common purpose.
