Hey friend, welcome to the mere Christians podcast. I'm Jordan Rader.

How does the gospel influence the work of mere Christians, those of us who aren't pastors

or religious professionals, but who work as critical care nurses, fishermen,

and administrative assistance. That's the question we explore every week and today

I'm posing it to Brittany Whitenac, the founder of Antique Candle Company, which she's

grown from zero to 70 employees in just a few years.

Brittany's an incredible founder who recently sat down with me to discuss the incredible impact

that a prayer committee has had on her customers and her team.

We talked about how her faith compelled her to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a

company perk that the world told her was

totally not essential and we also discussed what heaven might smell like

when it comes to earth you guys are going to love this terrific conversation with my new friend

Brittany Whiteman

Hey Brittany welcome to the Meer Christians podcast. Thank you, so excited to be here.

I'm super pumped about this.

Hey, so we're recording this on a Monday.

I was thinking about you yesterday because on Sunday,

Sabbath Sunday, as my kids call it,

our home constantly smells like some amazing candle.

And as I was lighting the candle yesterday, I'm like, dang!

dang if I planned this a little bit better I would have had an antique

candle company candle burning but alas I did not that's all right if I did which one should I have chosen what your go-to candle.
