​This is the #3 in a 12 part weekly series of excerpts from my book, In Business for Life. I wrote the book to pass along some lessons learned at the crossroads of business and life. My hope being that some could learn from my mistakes and avoid a few head-on collisions. Failing that, my hope is that readers walk away from future collisions with fewer injuries and a mysterious grin. Because if you get nothing else out of my book, you truly must get this --when you lose your sense of humor...you lose.

Pick your poison.

​Heroin. Prescription painkillers. Excessive alcohol. Suicide by cop.

Increasingly, such poisons are glaring evidence of troubling trends among America's working class poor, especially white, middle-aged Midwesterners.
 
For the first time since 1993, life expectancy declined last year. We also know the dismal statistics of stagnant incomes and "underwater" homeowners, again especially among the nation's working poor, since the Great Recession.
 
Some say these trends fueled President Donald's Trump victory last November. That may or may not be true. But these unmistakeable trend lines have spawned a body of thoughtful and alarming literature anyone interested in public policy needs to study.

PumpJack Speakers Bureau congratulates Curt Smith for being asked to guest preach at First Assembly of God in Fort Wayne. For the church's annual Citizenship Sunday service Curt will preach about the Christian's duty and opportunity to manage dual citizenship in heaven and earth, and consider how costly that citizenship can be. Curt will touch upon his leadership in support of the 2015 Religious Freedom and Restoration Act and his opposition to the so-called, "fix" which he chronicled in his 2016 book, "Deicide: How Eliminating The Deity Is Destroying America."

Jesus taught his disciples to pray that God's will would be done "on earth as it is in heaven." What does it mean for the Christian to have dual citizenship between heaven and earth? For veteran public policy aide and theology student Curt Smith, both memberships are serious matters with big implications.

Curt preached at Eagle Creek Grace Brethren Church on February 5, 2017, sharing biblical insight coupled with his unique perspective as a key leader in Indiana's fight for the sanctity of human life, gender and marriage. For more information about Curt speaking schedule, click here.
