Searching for Solutions to the International Orphan Crisis

Why we may be overlooking the greatest solution to the orphan crisis—a sustainable alternative that engages those from within the orphans’ local communities while also addressing the root issue, poverty.

Created to Flourish

If we are truly committed to justice and poverty eradication, we must learn to celebrate the powerful impact of all types of businesses. It’s time to unlock the hidden potential of entrepreneurship and realize the dramatic impact business has had on decreasing poverty and enabling families and communities to flourish.

The Spiritual Danger of Doing Good

Too often, we hear of good people doing good work who make very bad decisions. From making ministry your mistress to Christian karma, this talk explores the hidden attitudes that can derail Christian leaders. In an honest and personal style, Peter explores the ways to serve faithfully—and how the greatest danger we face isn’t an external factor, but the internal attitude that matters most.

Mission Drift

Without careful attention, faith-based organizations will inevitably drift from their founding purpose. It’s that simple. Slowly, silently, and with little fanfare, organizations routinely drift from their mission. Peter shares how to keep the organizations, schools, churches, and ministries you love to stay on track.
