My guest, Peter Demos, is a Christian, family man, successful business owner, speaker, and author. His latest book "On the City of Christian Civlil Disobedience" is worth a read. How should christians reposed to cultural changes we are concerned about? How important is voting, staying involved? Prayer is great, but what ELSE should we be doing? Here's his bio: Peter Demos entered the family restaurant business at age 12 when he started working as a dishwasher in his dad’s Western Sizzlin’ restaurant. From there, his experience in the food industry and serving others gradually grew under the tutelage of his father, who imparted to Peter many aspects of what it takes to run a successful business. After graduating from high school, Peter earned a B.S. in Sociology from Middle Tennessee State University before studying law at the University of Missouri. He went on to earn his Doctor of Jurisprudence degree, during which he discovered that he could better fulfill his passion for helping people in the food industry. In 1999, Peter returned to his parents’ family restaurant, Demos’ Restaurant, with the single goal of growing the organization. His experience as a restauranteur grew, and he was given the position of chairman on the Board of Directors for the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce and president of the Tennessee Hospitality Association. Currently, he is the president and CEO of Demos’ Brands and Demos Family Kitchen, owning six restaurant locations across middle Tennessee, including PDK Southern Kitchen and Pantry, and multiple other businesses. Peter is a highly sought-after leadership source expert and speaker on business, leadership and faith. His latest professional pursuit is the release of his compelling debut book detailing his journey from fear-filled to fearless, “Afraid to Trust.” He has been featured in numerous mainstream and faith-based publications including "The Washington Examiner," "Townhall," "The American Spectator" and "Christian Post." In addition, Peter also serves as an adjunct professor at Lipscomb University where he teaches a class on leadership and management. Today, Peter and his wife Kristin work closely together in both business and ministry. They are now teaching their two children to also serve God with their lives.

Tamara Lich personifies courage. She was one of the founders of the Freedom Convoy, when the truckers in Canada, fed up with government overreach and tyranny, formed a convoy and shut down the City of Ottawa, Canada. They sent a powerful message to the tyrants. She was overwhelmed with the support she and the convoy received from Canadians from all walks of life, who felt the same way, in light of the Covid lockdowns and mandates. She joined me to discuss what she went through, the legal troubles she still faces, and her new book, "Hold The Line". Highly recommend!

Bri Dressen is a brave woman, who, wanting to do her part to end the Covid pandemic, signed up to participate in a trial of the Astra Zeneca “vaccine”. The horror stories about that particular shot are legion, but at the time, trial participants weren’t made aware of what the manufacturers already KNEW. That ONE shot was enough to change her life forever. She and some other vaccine injured people have formed a group called React19, to help other vaccine injure people by providing community, assistance, and emotional support. She’s a hero in my book. react19.org Podcast: Don't Shrink Back! @DontShrinkBack dontshrinkback.com DSBGuests@gmmail.com “…But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed..."
