In 1995, Bob Buford captured his thoughts on the transition from success to significance in a book called Halftime (Zondervan, 1995). In a sense, this book was a natural outgrowth of Bob’s personal journey. After building a tremendously successful cable television business, Buford had embarked on a parallel life of service—by founding Leadership Network (www.leadnet.org), a non-profit that enhances innovative church practices, and helping launch the Peter F. Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management.

But the publication of Halftime marked a turning point for Bob and put words to what many people were already feeling. The book was a huge success. People from all over the country contacted Bob, affirming that he had captured “exactly what I’ve been feeling.” Soon, business and professional leaders were urging Bob to create an avenue for those who wanted to answer “yes” to the call of halftime.

In 1998, with the counsel of Peter Drucker, Bob responded by forming the organization that is today known as Halftime (formerly FaithWorks). This fast-growing organization has now grown to include dozens of staff and partners all across the country. Today, Halftime provides a wide array of products, services and experiences both directly and indirectly through other channels (including financial professionals, ministries and churches). Our commitment is to personally walk with individual Halftimers to help them discover and live out God’s call in a sustainable way. This web site is central to that commitment.
