About Buddy Pilgrim

Integrity's Operating Strategy

1. We will focus on equipping Christians with Biblical principles for success in business.

  • Our “equipment” is always scripturally based, practical in application and non-denominational.
  • Our marketplace is the Christian Community, both male and female, in any workplace position.
  • To be successful in our calling we must not wander into pastoral or evangelical roles.

2. We will always exercise and teach dominion in business and politics.

  • We must always remain current and practice what we preach.
  • The involvement of our leadership in business and politics gives credibility to our ministry.
  • Dominion in earthly realms of authority (business & politics) is a Biblical mandate.

3. We will provide a Christian perspective on current events in business and politics.

  • Christian perspectives on current events serve as real-world teaching examples of Biblical Principles.
  • Our commentary serves as encouragement to other Christians to take a public stand.
  • The Bible is the standard by which all business and politics should be judged.

4. We will teach the masses as the method of our spreading our ministry

  • Our venues include churches, seminars, TV, radio, websites, social media and publishing.
  • We can reach more people in more locations than through personal counseling/coaching.
  • We can make the message available with more time-flexible options.

5. We will not be counselors to individuals or businesses

  • This keeps us focused on conveying PRINCIPLES for the Masses.
  • We will be prayer partners to our Partners With Integrity.
  • Avoiding this temptation ensures our success with the masses.

6. We will point people to the Word, on their own, to seek business & political wisdom.

  • We can’t teach it all to everyone, no one can.

  • We want people to know how to seek Biblical wisdom on their own.
  • We demonstrate that the Bible is the best business text book available.

7. We will do everything with Integrity and to first class standards.

  • Poor workmanship or results damages our credibility.
  • Those who teach success must be successful.

  • We serve a God of excellence; we should emulate His standard.
