Honor God in the Grind: Ben Lacher on Faith, Failure and Building Ben's Garage

Ben Lacher, founder of Ben's Garage in Brownsburg, Indiana, joins Drew Kelley and Jackson Troxel on the Honor God in the Grind podcast. Lacher shares how he went from fixing junk dirt bikes as a homeschooled kid to working on a top fuel NHRA race team, flipping houses, going broke after a failed online business and driving a semi-truck on the midnight shift while his wife had their first child. He talks about how that difficult season crushed his ego and deepened his relationship with God, leading him to open Ben's Garage in May 2021 with one lift and his own tools. Now with 12 employees and up to 500 cars a month, Lacher discusses the leadership lessons he learned after firing around 30 people in his first two years, the mindset shift from using people to grow his business to using his business to grow his people, and how his faith and his wife Katie keep him grounded. He also shares how his involvement in the Praxis program and the C7 community shaped his view of redemptive entrepreneurship and kingdom impact in the automotive industry. Ben is also the author of a children's book, “Ben Does An Oil Change” available at https://www.bensgarageautomotive.com/.... 00:00 Podcast Intro & Reframing Success 01:19 Introducing Ben Locker & His Story 02:28 Redefining the Grind: Purpose Through Work 04:47 Growing Up, Early Ambitions & Mechanics 07:54 Lessons from Career Challenges and Setbacks 12:48 Obedience, Confusion, and Faith in Transition 14:48 Launching Ben's Garage: Taking Risks, Building Faith 17:37 Navigating Attitude, Identity & Staying Grounded 20:11 Daily Practices for Spiritual Focus 21:40 Business Growth & Leading a Team 23:52 Kingdom Impact Through the Trades 26:41 Community, Practis, & Peer Support 28:35 Mentors, Accountability & Family Integration 31:45 Encouragement for Young Leaders & Stepping Out 35:00 Marriage, Partnership, & Family Dynamics 37:20 Indianapolis Identity & Faithful Leadership 38:56 Final Thoughts & Closing Prayer
