In this episode of Every Day Matters, Pastor Jeff talks with longtime friend Matt Frauenshuh, owner of 255 Dairy Queens across 14 states and founder of Truce, his own restaurant in Franklin. Matt shares about his family, married to his wife Beth for 16 years with four kids, and a faith story rooted since childhood in a Christian home in Minnesota.
Matt opens up about bringing faith into the workplace without apology, from Bible verses on every Truce table to crosses built into the floor, and training Dairy Queen teams to say "be blessed" instead of the usual sign off. He also shares why he pays his Truce employees a guaranteed wage well above industry standard, wanting people to feel the love of Christ through how they're treated, not just hear about it.
At home, Matt credits his wife Beth for keeping their family grounded in Scripture and shares the family mantra his kids live by: you don't have to be the fastest or the smartest, but you should be the kindest. His story is a reminder that faith shows up in a paycheck, a table tent, or a family poster on the wall, because when we live surrendered, every day really does matter.
