Six years ago, I entered the Valley of Cancer. Now cancer-free (!), I am keenly aware that cancer of a different kind is attacking one of the liberties I cherish most in America -- Religious Liberty. Who will win this battle? People of faith, empowered with knowledge, practical strategies, and the courage to stand. This blog will become your "go to" place for Learning and Leverage, especially for leaders in business -- the next great mission field for Christ.
Why others read this blog…
"It is the one devotion that I read every time it arrives in my inbox because it is so worth it!

Oh, Lord... Sometimes You just make me laugh out loud! It wasn't too long ago that we were poised to return to Florida. Closing up our summer retreat house in Virginia and making the trek southward. Back to the warm sun. Before the chilly weather froze me to the core. :) Except for Skippy. The...
When you're carrying the weight of the world, you never know who's watching. You might be changing their life. You recall Jack Phillips, the cake artist in Colorado? Masterpiece Cakeshop owner, who politely declined to design a custom wedding cake celebrating a same-sex marriage? Jack's life since that fateful day has been no cake walk....
The Kentucky Supreme Court could rule on this case any day. Does anyone care? Hands On Originals, founded in 1985, is a t-shirt printing company in Lexington, Kentucky. Blaine Adamson, a key designer, became owner/partner in 2008. The company was bleeding red, over $500,000 in debt. Blaine cried out to God one sleepless December night....
Precious Readers... Yes, I've been absent the last couple of post days. Just thought I'd fill you in, since it's pretty unusual for me to not be writing. We've been scurrying around, packing for our big move south. Back to our real Home, leaving our vacation retreat behind once again. We were all set to...
Lawsuits take many years to reach the U.S. Supreme Court. Few are even considered by the highest court in the land. Most parties who prevail in such lawsuits are able to finally breathe a sigh of relief. Or so you would think. Not Jack Phillips. As owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, he had declined to use...
Normally, I write about Christian business owners called to impact the marketplace for Christ. Today, I feel compelled to write about a leader in government service... ... who discovered God's palpable Presence -- and his own God-given destiny -- at a time that should have ended his life. The son of a Baptist preacher, Bernie...
Earlier this month, Father Shenan Boquet posted an opinion piece in Life Site News online. It is one Christians observation of growing darkness in our culture. And his stirring exhortation that Christian's develop and exercise authentic Kingdom Power. Consider these excerpts (full article available at https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/st.-michael-the-archangel-pray-for-us): "... every day Christians are being confronted with ever more...
We all remember one or both of our parents exhorting us with this urgent warning. "Don't play with fire!" We may not have always heeded it... but we certainly heard it. Amen? Why the warning? Because of the expected consequence. If you play with fire, you're likely to get burned. Kelvin Cochran took this warning...
She is a business owner. Not just any business owner. She's from the United Kingdom. But which one? See if you can guess. Her business logo looks like an interstate highway sign. i61. Leading to an out-of-this-world destination. Her logo's inspiration? "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on Me, because the Lord has anointed...
... whenever the wind of the Holy Spirit blows. I've known her for many years. We've shared many significant life experiences. Graduations. Career moves. Weddings invoking Your name, Lord. It wasn't until this week that I knew for sure... She doesn't yet know You. We were in a car for 90 minutes. Just the two...
