FAITH Talk.media L3C / Holy Grounds Coffee House

Our Founder's Vision: David Braddock

David Braddock often jokes that he wears many hats—and he does. He is the Visionary Leader and Founder of FAITHTalk.media L3C, a prolific author, an active Substack blogger, and a church planter.

His life is defined by deep, constant spiritual movement, leading others to call him peculiar. David often shares that his greatest aspiration is to one day proclaim: “BEHOLD, THE LION OF JUDAH.”

Before entering full-time ministry, David built a 25-plus-year career in finance, holding roles at Schwab Institutional, Fidelity, and Wells Fargo. He holds a degree in Applied Economics and an MBA.

Our Unique Operating System (Biblical Operating System)

Our founder’s fifth book, A Biblical Operating System, draws on his finance background to pull back the veil on FAITHTalk.media L3C. Our operations are built upon the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS®) integrated with the Kingdom principles detailed in that book. Our structure includes:

• Putting Jesus at the top of the organizational chart.
• Adding two biblical Watchmen to the leadership team.
• Operating by the Hebrew calendar’s five seasons instead of fiscal quarters.
• A unique compensation model and leadership-based ownership.

Our Wyoming L3C charter requires that our primary goal is a socially beneficial purpose (spreading the Gospel) and mandates a 10% gross revenue donation to Christian ministry partners. We celebrate Holy Grounds Coffee House and our commitment to providing excellent coffee, but we do not discriminate if you prefer to drink tea.

Due to the unique spiritual and operational demands of our mission, compliance with the following requirements is considered a Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ) essential to our religious purpose.

Mandatory Submission Requirements

1. Required Core Focus Area:

You must indicate in your resume or cover letter which of the three primary EOS™ business functions you seek to serve in:

• Sales / Marketing
• Operations
• Finance & Administration

2. Application Limit:

You may submit your resume once every twelve (12) months. Submissions that fail to clearly specify one of the three Core Focus Areas will be automatically rejected, and a new submission will not be considered for one year.

3. Required Knowledge Base (Voluntary/Non-Compensable Preparation):

To prepare you for our interview process and ensure alignment with our operating demands, all potential candidates are strongly encouraged to become thoroughly familiar with:

• The EOS Model: Understanding of the foundational system (found in *Traction*—available at most public libraries).
• Our Theological Integration: Deep understanding of the principles in *A Biblical Operating System* and the founder's associated content (Substack, videos, other books).

Note on Compensation (FLSA): The review of these materials is voluntary and non-compensable self-education and is not a task performed for the direct benefit of the organization.

Faith-Based Qualifications and Screening

As a religious organization, we rely on the Title VII Religious Organization Exemption and the Ministerial Exception to ensure mission alignment in our team.

• Religious Preference: We exercise a hiring preference for individuals who share the Christian faith and are committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
• Ordination and Ministerial Duties: Most roles within our organization are deemed to require spiritual leadership and ministry functions (e.g., discipleship, intercession, prayer, and teaching) and therefore necessitate ordination.
• Interview Screening: During the interview process, candidates will be required to answer questions regarding their personal salvation and which of the founder's materials compelled them to seek involvement with our ministry.

Disability Accommodation Notice (ADA)

We are committed to providing equal opportunity in the application process. We recognize that the extensive reading requirements may pose a substantial barrier for applicants with qualifying disabilities (e.g., visual impairment, dyslexia).

• If you have a disability that limits your ability to consume the recommended reading material, please notify us immediately at jobs@faithtalk.media so that we may engage in the interactive process to determine a reasonable accommodation, such as access to officially approved audiobook formats or comprehensive summaries.

By submitting a resume, you affirm your understanding of our mission and your commitment to supporting the spiritual and operational demands of our organization. Please send your resume to jobs@faithtalk.media.
