Episode notes

Have you been facing pressure to put your pronouns in your emails? In 2020 did your company release a statement supporting BLM? How can you deal with pressure from wokeness at work in a way that honors Jesus Christ as Lord, and loves your neighbor as yourself? What should you do when you experience pressure from your company to conform to an ideology that goes against biblical Christianity? What if the pressure comes from outside your company—what should you do?

To help us find these answers, we're joined by Juan-Elias Riesco. Juan ran the number one rated restaurant in Chicago and was launching a successful clothing brand, until everything changed when the woke mob attacked.

You're going to hear Juan-Elias's story, and learn some powerful principles that will help you survive wokeness wherever you are facing it—whether in the form of a mob, or in "diversity, equity, and inclusion" trainings in the workplace.

Specifically, you're going to hear Juan-Elias talk about

• What his life was like before he became saved, and how he became a Christian.
• How he was able to his homosexual lifestyle behind him.

• What it was like to build the number one rated restaurant in Chicago, only to have it all collapse in a few days.

• How he handled woke protestors

• Why he moved out of Chicago, to Dallas, only to return to Chicago, and what he's doing now.

• What he thinks is the holiest thing you can actually do at your job.
