Facilities Five and Dime: The Podcast on Church Facility Stewardship
Facilities Five and Dime: The Podcast on Church Facility Stewardship isn’t your typical podcast. Like the old five-and-dime stores—where merchants had to know a little bit about everything—we step into the world of facility stewardship with curiosity, grit, and a touch of storytelling flair. Each episode digs into real stories, lessons learned, and surprising turns behind the buildings we use every day.
From unseen risks hidden in cooling towers to potential poor communication within a maintenance team, we uncover how small details and overlooked systems can have significant consequences. Along the way, we tie in history, best practices, and practical wisdom that will equip facility teams, leaders, and everyday stewards to care well for the spaces entrusted to them.
Think of it as a place where curiosity meets expertise, and where every aisle is stocked with a new story you didn’t expect—but one you’ll never forget.

How Epoxy Flooring Serves Combat and Facility Stewardship
Who would’ve thought the same technology that once sealed the decks of warships would later seal the hallways of your local church or school? In this episode of Facilities Five and Dime, we trace the unlikely journey of epoxy flooring—from battlefield innovation to maintenance mainstay.
We’ll unpack how a chemical born from necessity became the unsung hero of modern facilities: fighting spills instead of shrapnel, saving budgets instead of battleships. Along the way, we’ll talk about durability, design, and the stewardship lessons hidden under our very feet.
So grab your coffee (and maybe your mop), and join us as we explore how yesterday’s military marvel became today’s maintenance miracle—proving once again, you never know what you’ll find in stock here at the Five and Dime.
