Ray Hilbert started his
career working for a small family-run business in his early 20’s,
but he quickly learn there was not much of a career
ladder. After a few
years, Ray moved into the corporate world, taking a sales and
business development position at one of the largest companies in
the world at the time.
Though he was never asked to do anything illegal, but he was asked
to entertain his clients in ways that pushed him well beyond his
comfort zone and morals. Going from a place very Biblical in
nature, concerned with people to a large, internationally-traded
public firm was a very different experience.
After a few years there, Ray decided to scratch an entrepreneurial
itch. He started a business and had immediate success. That is...
until he was approached about a partnership and investing in a
second company. He asked his wife, his family, friends and his
pastor. They all warned him against it. He was doing so well.
Against his better judgment, Ray went into the second business, and
both businesses failed. Devastated and deep in debt, Ray was forced
to liquidate both companies to pay his creditors. At just 28 years
old, he was broke, with a wife and children, and he didn’t know
what he was going to do.
Not long after, however, he got a phone call from in a small
start-up ministry called Promise
Keepers that was looking to expand from its team
of a dozen members. After 18 months after Ray was hired, Promise
Keepers was holding conferences with over 60,000+ in attendance,
and employed over 600 full-time staff.
After having thousands of conversations, many of which resulted in
questioning what God wants for His people in their businesses and
careers. In 1998, Ray founded Truth At
Work which helps business leaders build and
lead their companies and organizations on proven biblical
principles and practices.
