Faith Driven HR: Practical People Strategies for Christian Small Businesses

Join Karl Diffenderfer for a thoughtful Leadership and HR Conversation with Mark A. Griffin, author of Faith Driven HR.

This conversation will explore how faith shapes the way leaders steward people, systems, and culture in the workplace. Faith Driven HR challenges leaders to recognize that leadership is not spiritually neutral—and that clarity, consistency, accountability, and excellence deeply influence how people experience work every day.

Together, Karl and Mark will discuss:

• Why the workplace is one of the most formative environments in people’s lives

• How leadership systems—not just intentions—shape trust and engagement

• What it means to steward people as God’s greatest creation

• How faith-driven leadership can be both principled and practical

Please join us for a powerful discussion with Mark A. Griffin, founder of IHN HR and a seasoned corporate HR executive. Learn how to build strong cultures that fuel growth, excellence, and real results!

In this session, Mark will share how faith-informed leadership principles can be applied within business HR practices to create cultures of trust, accountability, and purpose—without compromising professionalism or inclusion.

This is a message business owners, executives, and HR leaders do not want to miss! You will gain practical insight, wisdom, and real-world application for leading people well in today’s hectic and challenging workplaces.
