The Shepherd at Work
Friday, February 27, 2026 - 26 minutes
What happens when a wildly successful CEO decides he is no longer in control?
Meet Todd Hopkins — founder of Office Pride Commercial Cleaning Services, strategic growth coach, international best-selling author, and a man who wakes up excited each day to ask one question:
“Lord, what do You want to solve today?”
Todd doesn’t just talk about faith in business.
He has pre-committed to obey God.
It’s not conditional.
It’s not convenient.
It’s not negotiable.
Before the decision ever arrives, the answer is already yes.
In this powerful conversation, Todd shares what it looks like to truly humble yourself before the Father each day—bringing Him your challenges, your opportunities, your growth strategy, and even your control.
And this isn’t theory.
Todd spent 30 years building Office Pride into an award-winning franchise system with over 150 locations across the United States. He led through growth, through complexity, and through COVID. He has authored multiple faith-based business books and now coaches entrepreneurs around the world to scale with clarity and conviction.
But his greatest discipline?
Daily time with God.
He cannot stress enough the importance of quiet time every single day—sharing with the Lord what is happening and asking what he is to do about it.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
-
What it means to pre-commit to obedience
-
How surrender strengthens leadership instead of weakening it
-
Why productivity must replace “busy” if you want lasting impact
-
How to scale without losing your soul

The difference between controlling outcomes and stewarding influence
Todd teaches entrepreneurs how to maximize productivity, install scalable systems, build financial confidence, and think strategically—but underneath it all is one foundation:
Honor God first.
This episode will challenge you.
