Respond to Abigail:
While Good Brews Coffee Trucks model is not structured for financial investors, the business promotes partnering with local organizations to boost consumer engagement for both parties. With hundreds of churches and numerous Christian schools in the Hampton Roads area, Good Brews is positioned to form trusted partnerships that provide consistent catering opportunities and increase public recognition. The region also hosts many venues, markets, and regular social gatherings, creating reliable demand for specialty beverages (Davis, 2026).
Furthermore, forming a business partnership with Good Brews would give classmates and their businesses a chance to build customer relationships and increase brand reach and visibility. Industry research reinforces the business networking strategy. Walker and Mullins (2014) explain that firms in mature industries gain sustainable advantage through trusted brands, cooperative partnerships, and loyal customers.
By partnering with Good Brews, classmates could benefit from a business that leverages community events to expand its reach while reducing financial risk. For example, Regent University often partners with food trucks or coffee trucks to supplement food services available to summer camps staying on campus. This partnership benefits both parties because the service is taken care of for Regent, and the food trucks gain customers. Good Brews mobility and recognizable Christian brand help attract a loyal customer base, giving Good Brews and partners access to a stronger customer engagement through joint endeavors.

Respond to Micah:
For me, Lavish Landscaping is more than a way to make income. It is an expression of my personal calling and purposeful work that I believe God has called me to do. My business integrates services, responsibility, and care for the community, which are all values that shape my faith.
This business fulfills a calling in my life toward stewardship and service through tangible work. Landscaping is inherently restorative since it improves environments where families live. Scripture consistently frames work as a way to cultivate and care for what God has given us. Lavish Landscaping allows me to take responsibility for both land and relationships by transforming ordinary outdoor spaces into orderly and welcoming environments.
Additionally, this business aligns with the biblical calling of every believer to excellence in everyday tasks. Lavish Landscaping emphasizes reliability, consistency, and integrity in everyday service. Research also shows that purpose-driven businesses tend to outperform profit-driven ventures over time because their values guide decision-making during uncertainty (Hollensbe et al., 2014). Through operating a local service business, I can create daily opportunities to practice patience, discipline, and accountability.
All of these biblical characteristics are defined well in Micah 6:8, which says, He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? (English Standard Version, 2001). Lavish Landscaping provides a practical opportunity to live out justice, kindness, and humility through its daily work.
