The Faith Journey: David's faith was forged in hardship. He speaks openly about near-financial-collapse early in his career and how his mother-in-law's phone call — praying scripture over him in his darkest moment — renewed his faith. He credits divine guidance for every major business decision. He leads the "WWT Family & Friends Prayer Call" personally, inviting employees, clients, and partners to join in reflection and unity.

  • Path: DIRECT — Carter connection (WWT)
  • Path Strength: 100/100
  • Frame: Servant leadership + eternal ROI — "stewarding information for the Kingdom"

Why David L. Steward belongs on the list:

David Steward is an $11.4B-net-worth technology executive who explicitly operates his company and foundation on faith principles. He leads prayer calls for employees, writes books about biblical business, serves on the board of Biblical Business Training, and built the largest Black-owned company in America on "servant leadership." His technology expertise ($20B tech company), his faith alignment (explicit Kingdom mission), and his capacity ($11.4B) make him an extraordinary fit.

The Single Best Warm Path:

W4-18 CORRECTED: 3-hop path — Carter → Bill Hane → David Green → David L. Steward. The prior "DIRECT" claim was fabricated (Kill Log #2). First call is to Bill Hane to activate the David Green connection. DO NOT CALL Steward directly.

Alternative Path: Via Brandon K. Mann (Kingdom Capital) — co-author and faith-business partner.

The Angle That Resonates:

David Steward responds to "servant leadership" and "stewarding the Word of God through acts of service." He thinks in terms of "eternal return on investment." The angle: "This is technology infrastructure for Kingdom purposes — your company proves technology can be built on biblical principles at $20B scale. This is the intelligence layer that serves the same mission." Frame as service, not investment. Frame as "stewardship of information for the Kingdom."
