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! Diana is sold out to the Lord, funny, convicting, scriptural, inspiring, bold and an unapologetic servant warrior of the Lord who leads the charge to apply God’s perspectives and priorities to everyday living!"

What does dreaming have to do with deliverance? Maybe nothing. Maybe everything. Last night, I dreamed about Andrew Walker -- the popular Hallmark movie star. Hallmark - "The Heart of TV." No surprise there. I saw him last night, in a new movie that aired for the first time. What surprised me was our encounter. He...
Is anything more beautiful than freedom? One of our founding fathers, Patrick Henry, said: "Give me liberty or give me death!" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Give_me_liberty,_or_give_me_death! In a way, Jesus Christ said the opposite: "Give Me death, so I can give you liberty!" Amen? I found a beautiful Kingdom POWER resource last night. I planned to blog about it this morning. Except...
How difficult might it be for anyone to become (and remain) a faith-full Christian in a wealth-exploding, idol-making, temptation-hounding place like Hollywood? Ask Chris Pratt. Highest-grossing actor in 2014, making $1.2 billion between leads in Guardians of the Galaxy and The Lego Movie. https://www.crosswalk.com/blogs/christian-trends/what-chris-pratt-said-about-his-faith-will-change-your-mind-about-hollywood.html In 2015, Chris starred in Jurassic World. And made Time Magazine's "100 List" -- the...
As a cancer survivor, I really appreciate my hair. I certainly don't take it for granted. Baldness brought on by Big Guns Chemo has a way of giving a person perspective. Amen? :) Sarah Breedlove had that perspective. Her troubles with scalp disorders and intermittent baldness had nothing to do with cancer. But they had...
What single women doesn't catch her breath when the man of her dreams -- the real man, the love of her life -- pulls a small velvet box out of his pocket in a super-romantic moment? :) Actually, diamonds aren't (like that old slogan said), "A girl's best friend." Her real best friend is the...
A lot of "wanna be" power surrounded the Titanic. Prideful boasting: The greatest of all ships! Unsinkable! Oh, well. So much for prideful boasts. But isn't that the point? "... the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts... The tongue also is... a world of evil among the parts of...
What does a chicken say? Peep Peep Peep. How do you get a Cheap Peep? Just use a smart phone app to pay for your favorite chicken sandwich at your favorite fast-food chicken restaurant. A Cheap Peep. With a Quick Chick Click. Say that six times real fast... Yikes! :) Voila! A 10% discount! A real deal......
The Masterpiece case is about a Christian business owner making a business decision based on deeply-held religious beliefs. Although the Court ruled for Phillips, the "win" isn't the precedent-setting decision I'd hoped to see. https://championsofdestiny.com/slicing-the-masterpiece-cake-part-1/ AND https://championsofdestiny.com/slicing-the-masterpiece-cake-part-2/ Still... I conclude my 3-part blog with HOPE! I found it in the Concurring Opinion by Justice Thomas, with...
Can anyone of movie-going age honestly say they were not the least bit intrigued by the premise of Jurassic Park, Lord? That dinosaurs could be brought back to life to interact with humans today? Intrigued, maybe... but not eager. Perish the thought! :( :) Certainly makes a thrilling (and lucrative) storyline, though... Amen? I'll never...
Kingdom POWER advances whenever Christians stand by faith in the face of opposition. History records that faith spreads explosively in the face of harsh persecution. Jack Phillips stood by faith when he declined to use his artistic abilities to create a masterpiece cake celebrating a same-sex marriage. After six years of expensive legal losses and...
