Episode Synopsis

Brett Thomas brought the heat—and the heart—when he told the story of how Church Street Café came to life in the small town of Hahira, Georgia. After decades in the restaurant world, Brett finally took the leap to create a place of his own… and he built it with purpose.For Brett, every cup of coffee and every plate served is more than a transaction—it’s an opportunity to treat people like family. He shared how his café operates on faith-based values, from the way he greets customers to the bold decision not to serve alcohol, even when it meant turning down easy revenue.Balancing faith and business isn’t always simple, but Brett makes it look joyful. His customers feel the difference. His staff feels the difference. And the community feels the difference—especially when he uses his business to help fund mission trips and local outreach.His advice for other business owners?Stay rooted. Don’t compromise. Build something that reflects who you really are. Because when your business is anchored in faith, the rewards go way beyond the cash register.
