A Faith-Based Reflection As a minister and former business and information security consultant, I have learned that ethical leadership is not just a big phrase for people in high positions. In simple words, ethical leadership means doing what is right, honest, fair, and responsible before God and before people. It means choosing integrity when no one is watching, telling the…
When people think about the prophet Isaiah, they may think about kings, wars, enemies, and warnings about the future. Those things do show up in his message.

America is not just facing political trouble, economic pressure, or cultural confusion. We are facing a spiritual crisis.
