Core Message: Jurisdictions
While the word “jurisdiction” has its roots as a legal term, the concept is quite broad in its application, as it pertains to both how we live our lives and the subsequent effect this has on society. To understand jurisdictions is to understand the spheres of responsibility within our personal lives and the greater community.…
Core Message Highlight: Transformational Leadership
Core Message Highlight: Transformational Leadership A transformational leader is someone who has been and continues to be personally transformed into Christ-likeness and, in turn, stimulates transformation in their families and communities.

Core Message Highlight: Presuppositional Thinking
The mind justifies what the heart has chosen. This simple maxim unlocks the essence of human decision-making. Within our hearts lies our true motives, agendas, and underlying assumptions. Our hearts determine our character and what kind of person we will be. As evidenced by hundreds of Scriptures, it is vital in our Christian walk to…
Core Message Highlight: Problem Solving
“Power is guarded by problems” is a well-known catechism for those familiar with the ministry of GoStrategic.

Capitalism, Socialism, and the Case for Choice-Based Economics
Capitalism, Socialism, and the Case for Choice-Based Economics by Dennis Peacocke The critiques of capitalism go well back into the nineteenth century. At their core, the best of them are much more about an unequal distribution of wealth than any of the self-evident needs to fine tune the exclusively economic properties of the overall system.…
The Challenge of Business Management after September 11, 2001
by Dennis Peacocke Most of us recognize that the events of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, have changed things in significant ways even if we are unable to articulate all that we see or sense.

Why God Doesn’t Want to get Involved in Your Business

Integrity in Sales: You are the Company, You are the Product
by Dennis Peacocke Integrity is perhaps our highest and most valuable human commodity. When we possess it, it can open many doors and keep them open.

by Dennis Peacocke Every successful leader of any organization, let alone a successful business, knows that strategic planning is the key.

Some of the Economic Consequences of Dualism, Futurism, and Evangelicalism
by Dennis Peacocke Broadly speaking, I am an American “Evangelical,” if by the meaning of this word we denote a Christian who believes in being born of God’s Spirit and who holds both a high view of scripture and an internal need to share our faith in Christ. Unfortunately, “Evangelicalism” in America carries with it,…
Studies on the Master Principles of Transforming People and Organizations
by Dennis Peacocke In a fallen world, how to achieve biblical and lasting transformation is the only real question for those who aspire to be Christ’s disciples.

Do You Study Biblical Economics from a “Whole Bible?”
by Dennis Peacocke We Christians are a strange lot. Frequently, we say we believe one thing but live out our lives quite differently. While hypocrisy is one thing, “spiritual blind-spots” are another. Problematic as hypocrisy is, it is not my concern in this article; rather, I am concerned with our “blind spots.” A blind spot…
