Green said he strives to be a steward instead of an owner.

Hobby Lobby CEO David Green sent shockwaves through the news cycle after writing in a recent Fox News"Patagonia’s founder recently made news when he gave away the ownership in his company to allow the mission and purpose to remain intact… I experienced a similar decision-making process with my ownership of Hobby Lobby; I chose God," he wrote Friday.," told anchor Will Cain his mission is to be a steward instead of an owner.

"There's a huge paradigm change between owning a company and stewarding it, and we want to be stewards of what God has given us." Green told Cain that 100% of the company's voting stock has been moved to a trust where the "stewardship" can continue to pass on to one person from another. "All the voting stock is in 1% in its trust, and it is being managed and being stewarded instead of seeing ourselves as owners," he added.
