Rick Johnson started RC Fasteners and Components right after 9/11 with no money, no customers, and a word from God: "I won't let you fail." Twenty-four years later, his company sells aerospace and industrial fasteners, but Rick calls it "a ministry working undercover as a fastener company." In this episode, Rick shares how losing three family members in 11 months broke him down, led him to surrender everything to God, and transformed his business from the inside out. Episode Highlights Rick felt called to start a fastener company months after 9/11, when no planes were flying, and aerospace demand had collapsed. He and his wife had almost no money. That first year brought constant failure, but Rick held onto the promise he received in prayer. For the first 11 years, Rick ran the business his way. He worked 14 to 16-hour days, seven days a week, and put God on the shelf. Then in 2007, he lost his father, mother, and sister within 11 months. He went through three and a half years of severe mental health struggles before surrendering everything, the company, his family, his finances, back to God. After that surrender, everything shifted. Rick moved into a bigger building right after losing his second largest account. The building owner remodeled the entire space for free. Within four years, God paid off the building. Rick and his team began documenting answered prayers on six-foot rolls of craft paper and posting them on the warehouse walls. Eight or nine years later, they fill three aisles. Customers, vendors, and employees all see the evidence. RC Fasteners holds Bible studies on company time. Employees who initially opted out started showing up after hearing the joy and energy coming from those gatherings. Rick watched people transform, take that change home to their families, and restore broken relationships. Rick walked away from a half-million-dollar account because it was damaging his team's well-being and culture. When a separate client mistreated his staff, he pulled RC out of that contract too. One of those clients called them back to the table and committed to doing things differently. Rick hires based on who God leads him to, not always the most qualified candidate. One hire was a former pastor whose church had fallen apart. Over five years at RC, the man was restored, his children returned to faith, and he eventually went back into ministry. Rick has completed 25 Follower of One virtual mission trips. He credits the organization with helping him take workplace intentionality to another level and encourages anyone, not only business owners, to get involved. Rick Johnson's closing challenge to listeners: spend time with God daily. That is the most important appointment on your calendar. When you seek Him first and go after the root, loving God and loving people, He takes care of the fruit. Rick's team started with a Monday prayer meeting. Today, something is happening at RC Fasteners every single day.
