Recorded in the Patriot Mobile Studios in the USA, Glenn Story, co-founder and president of Patriot Mobile, joins Hearts of Oak to discuss the company’s origins and growth. He recounts how the idea for the business began 13 years ago on a Texas football field and explains the decision to rebrand as America’s only Christian conservative cell phone company. Glenn shares his finance background in New York, the challenges of building a wireless carrier, the rebranding’s impact on growth, and the company’s four core pillars: pro-life, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, and support for veterans. He also talks about running the business according to biblical principles, forming partnerships with churches, and using everyday mobile service as a way to support aligned values and defend freedoms.

Glenn Story is the co-founder and president of Patriot Mobile, America’s only Christian conservative wireless carrier. A trained accountant and CPA, he built his early career in New York, advancing through senior finance roles—including accounting manager, controller, vice president of finance, and Chief Accounting Officer—for subscription-based companies.After relocating to Texas, Glenn co-founded Patriot Mobile in 2013 following a conversation on a youth football field. The company faced significant early challenges but grew rapidly after rebranding to more explicitly reflect its faith-based mission. Glenn leads the business according to biblical principles and centers it around four core pillars: the sanctity of life, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, and support for veterans.Together with his wife Jenny, he views Patriot Mobile not simply as a mobile service provider, but as a mission-driven company committed to glorifying God and defending God-given rights and freedoms.

An honour to have Bill Federer with us to examine Christianity’s influence on America’s founding, focusing on the covenantal ideas drawn from ancient Israel’s pre-monarchical period and the English Commonwealth experiment. Bill traces the life of Muhammad, his transition from religious leader in Mecca to political and military leader in Medina, the early spread of Islam, and the strategies of the Muslim Brotherhood. The conversation addresses the historical merging of faith and political authority and its relevance to modern Western societies.
