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!"

"I’ve done many devotionals but none capture me like yours! Reading it draws me closer to the Lord!"
- Debbie
"The author has faced the challenges of life… and refused to respond outside of the guidance of scripture. That gives everything she writes huge credibility because of the authenticity of her deepest desire – to honor Christ, whatever the cost or sacrifice. That’s how I want to be too!"

- Jim
"If you ever need to be encouraged in times of trouble, this blog will help you through your difficulties."
They aren't famous. I had never even met them before. So why did I grab my camera during our communion service this morning and snap their picture? Because You told me to, Lord. It was one of those Urgent Opportunities. A Photo of A Lifetime. Here one moment, gone the next. So I didn't waste...
"There is a time for everything..." (Ecclesiastes 3:1) In business, there's no time like the present for Sustainability. And the path to sustainability directs us inevitably toward acceptable returns on the assets we deploy. Whether it's people, money or time, our corporate sphere of influence is best served when all of our assets are fully engaged...
The last two Kingdom PERSECUTION posts concern the same issue from different perspectives and geographies. At the very least, the preponderance of current news surrounding this issue suggests it is not only relevant, it is timely and not-at-all isolated. Fear-mongering can produce unintended consequences. Like people discounting the messenger without giving the message its due....
IMPORTANT CAVEAT as I begin! I don't know anything about the company I describe today. But its premise resonates deeply with me. So I'm sharing it here as an intriguing resource for any who want to check it out... at your own risk. :) LightPoint Kingdom(k) retirement plan targets Christian business owners. It's a retirement...
I remember this encounter with You, Lord, like it was yesterday. It started with my simple, "Hello! How are you?" The flight attendant as I entered the plane returned her friendly greeting. I went to my seat in the main cabin and we soon took off. Sometime later, another flight attendant came by with food. Before...
I heard a Latin phrase years ago. In Latin, it was meaningless to me. Its translation? A Game Changer. Fiat Justicia et Pereat Mundus... Do the right thing, come what may. This is foundational to one of my favorite movies, Come What May, The Kingdom POWER lessons here are many and profound. I highly recommend it to anyone...
Today's post about Kingdom PERSECUTION is somewhat ironic. Because on Monday, I wrote about a medical school graduate whose boldness for Christ did not hinder her acceptance into a Residency program. https://championsofdestiny.com/diagnosis-blessed/ Today's blog profiles a graduate counseling student who was ousted from her program because of her Christian beliefs. Enter Jennifer Keeton. She was pursuing...
I “met” a precious sister-in-Christ recently, via phone. She lives thousands of miles away from me. But the Lord is the best networker on the planet… right? ? She’s starting her Residency. The next milestone in fulfilling her dream of practicing medicine as a Christ-honoring physician, under the ultimate supervision of The Great Physician. She...
My optometrist is a dear Forever Brother. I met him years ago when You, Lord, moved him and his partner to mobilize comprehensive eye care for the uninsured, needy patients we serve at Samaritan's Touch Care Center. The Christ-centered medical facility You miraculously raised up out of nothing in our impoverished rural county. I have...
What do we really believe? A profound question. Because whatever we believe informs what we will do. The Lord calls us to be powerful witnesses of all He represents and holds dear. To move in power far beyond our own. "For man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26) "You will...
