Living for Christ, Whatever the Cost – Part 1
Twin brothers David and Jason Benham are former professional baseball players, as well as nationally acclaimed entrepreneurs, and best-selling authors. Their rise to prominence came with their first company, which grew to 100 offices in 35 states, and catapulted them onto the national stage. David and Jason’s success eventually landed them a reality show with HGTV in 2014 that was soon canceled when activist groups pressured the network to fire them because of their commitment to biblical values. Appearing on numerous media outlets, the brothers encouraged people to stand for what they believe, whatever the cost. Since that time, they have started many businesses and launched an online coaching series called “Expert Ownership.” David and Jason reside in Charlotte, North Carolina, with their families.
