At Lemon Chill, we are The Original- the frozen lemonade that started it all. Since the first scoop at Six Flags Over Texas in 1989, this refreshing tart treat has been cooling down crowds, creating lasting memories, and delivering that perfect chill. What started as a simple frozen lemonade quickly became a fan favorite, bringing sticky fingers, big grins, and a refreshing escape to theme parks, stadiums, and events across the country.
Today, we are proud to carry on that legacy, sharing the same fun-loving spirit with new fans while staying true to what makes Lemon Chill special. Whether you're soaking up the sun, celebrating a win, or just looking for a sweet escape, we invite you to grab a cup, take a break, and savor the moment- one frosty spoonful at a time! |

When we began in 1918, we were burdened by the fact that many retirement-aged Southern Baptist ministers and their families were in need of financial assistance to access basic needs. For many of us, we came to know the Gospel message through these servants of the cross. We were blessed by them in their pews and around their kitchen tables. Yet, financial circumstances and other challenges kept many of these from living in their later years with dignity.
Over the last century, GuideStone has developed a comprehensive set of financial solutions and expanded our reach beyond Southern Baptist churches and ministers to Christians based in all 50 states including those serving globally. We now provide expert financial guidance rooted in biblical values through retirement plans, investments, health plans, insurance and more to help you work toward financial security and resilience as you answer God’s call on your life. |

Each partner has access to our curriculum and tools, which they contextualize to meet the unique needs of the entrepreneurs they serve.

A group of Birmingham business professionals created The Lions Den® event in 2014 to “Inspire, Educate and Mobilize” people to invest their time, talents, and other resources in the Kingdom through “Business as Mission.” The group created the non-profit Cedarworks, Inc. to produce the event as it encourages a diverse community of participants from around the world and in the Birmingham area. The Lions Den® began to establish itself as a forum for action-oriented professionals coming from across the country to network and collaborate. After multiple requests for more in-depth content, Cedarworks added the Professional Summit to the event. The additional time allows experts to further interact on Business As Mission issues, topics, and case studies. Other cities followed Birmingham’s lead: Dallas in 2016 and Silicon Valley in 2020. To illustrate the broad appeal, over 600 came to The Lions Den Main Event in 2022, with 10 countries, 159 cities, and 32 states represented. Summit participants enjoyed a series of plenary sessions on the past, present, and future of BAM, as well as a series of smaller breakout session topics and of course, two great dinners, and a lunch with keynote speaker Dwight Nordstrom.

Creating good jobs at scale in redemptive enterprises is the key to unlocking permanent solutions. |

Elevating young adults through meeting the needs of the community. For us, it's more than an odd-job. By connecting Neighbors with hardworking Local Workers, we build lasting relationships that can uplift a community.
The #1 cause of death for 19-25 year olds is suicide. Many quietly struggle with their mental health. Strange enough, helping others can combat this statistic. Through "Surving," we're meeting un-met needs in our communities. By 2030, 65 million Americans won't be able to manage their homes. Our Vision: Create communities across America in which young adults have a purpose driven job available to meet the needs of the community. |
