Innovation-Race Special Podcast

We were made in God’s image, which includes the ability to create and innovate. As Christians we credit God with all he creates and the creative abilities that he has endowed within us. The founding Father’s saw this privilege and therefore wrote protection of the creators rights and ownership of their creation into the constitution.

In the past 20+ years that has changed as politicians have altered our system. They have given the edge to large corporations. For the first time in over a century, we are now losing one of our greatest strength to the Chinese, who have now created their patent system to resemble the previous successful way the United States designed theirs. What can we do? Listen to our podcast with James Edwards.
