Our Passion

Brokenness fills our world.

Struggling individuals, dissolving families, failing businesses, and fighting governments all represent a form of brokenness. Everywhere, justice and truth stumble in the streets, and people perish.^[1] All the while, a blanket of darkness continues to spread across the nations, bringing with it confusion, chaos, and pain.

The situation demands our attention. Yet even when the Holy Spirit burdens us with the charge to bind up the brokenhearted,^[2]we still find ourselves asking the question: What can I do? Overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the problem lying before us, we often stop before we start, deciding that one person, one family, one church, or one community cannot make a difference.

Salt & Light Global believes the opposite. We believe that one person, one family, one church, and one community can indeed make a difference, so long as they look to the Holy Trinity for strength and to the Word for guidance.^[3] We believe that there is hope in Jesus Christ^[4] and that the abundant life He promised is still obtainable.^[5] We believe that each person who professes Jesus Christ as Lord is commissioned to disciple nations^[6] and cast out darkness.^[7]

Our beliefs demand action.

Salt & Light Global takes the heart of Jesus to the culture. We disciple servant leaders, equipping them to share His redemptive love and truth. We encourage the body of Christ to see all of who they are and what they do through the lens of God’s Word.

SLG equips the church with strategies to transform the culture. We train pastors and ministry leaders to contend for the faith. We shine the healing light of Christ into dark places, sharing the Good News of Jesus in unique unreached forums. We strategically work to ensure the next generation may do so free of persecution.

From a local township board to the United States Supreme Court, our legal division speaks truth on behalf of the persecuted and most vulnerable. We champion the cause of the defenseless and oppressed, fighting for religious freedom in public forums around the globe. We promote good governance and speak of Jesus in the public square. Because Jesus calls us to be salt and light in the world, we want to see nations transform, darkness dissolve, and the brokenhearted heal. Will you join us?

Salt & Light Global seeks to rebuild nations and cultures one person, one family, one church, and one community at a time by obeying the command to be salt and light in the world.^[8]

To fulfill its vision for cultural transformation and renewal, Salt & Light Global recognizes that a proper understanding of the spheres of societal authority, and the First Principles that govern them, must be restored within the universal Church and society at large. Specifically, the Church must realize the implications of allowing the State to take control of areas beyond its God-established jurisdiction. As such, Salt & Light Global seeks to instill within the Christian community a correct understanding of and a respect for the following First Principles: 

• Good Governance under the Rule of Law, including Sphere Sovereignty
• The Inherent Value of Human Life
• The Inalienable Liberties of Religious Conscience, Expression, and Association
• The Inalienable Liberty of Property
• The Inalienable Right of a Man and Woman to Marry, Procreate, and Control and Direct the Upbringing of their Children

SLG’s Academy equips the Universal Church to share the heart of Jesus, defend these First Principles, and engage the culture.

SLG’s Institute for Global Engagement, seeks to provide avenues for people to engage in rebuilding their own communities through selfless service.

SLG’s Great Lakes Justice Center fights for faith and freedom, defending truth and protecting liberty in the courtroom and other public forums.

People will stumble in the darkness. Societies will perish when not actively preserved. Yet, we at Salt & Light Global are confident that when the Body of Christ relies on the wisdom of God’s Word and the strength of the Holy Spirit to intentionally preserve and shine truth in the world, we will see nations transformed, darkness cast out, and the brokenhearted healed. Will you join us?

Be Salt, Preserve Truth. Be Light, Shine Truth.
