Several of you have written in response to the email company’s glitch and said, “Please, let me pray.”
Thank you.
Thank you for your patience, and thank you for praying. I believe your intercession has already made a difference.
When Reny’s “work around” email to the Prayer Tribe arrived in my Inbox last night, I felt as though [...]

Thank you for your readiness to be apart of a prayer cause that is worth fighting for. Advocating for Preston and his upcoming book No Mercy extends beyond just Preston and the book. It is an advocacy on behalf of many believers and non-believers who will be touched by the ministry and will be set [...]

We need to do a work around. I’m sorry for the hassle.
You were supposed to receive a link from my contracted email company to confirm your intent to join the Prayer Tribe. Some did, the majority of you did not.
I’m working diligently to remedy the foul up. The problem is wholly the email [...]

Dianne (my wife) and I want to introduce you to a dear friend, Reny Madjarska, and ask you to join her in forming a Prayer Tribe to pray for us and my nearly-completed book, “No Mercy.”
Reny and I worked together for eleven years at Lifetime Guarantee Ministries. She is talented, trustworthy, and has a [...]

That’s how Dianne and I read the Bible. More verses than that, for longer than a paragraph takes, has proven too formidable for us to enjoy success, let alone benefit.
Mornings are demanding—and we don’t even have kids. Yikes! The alarm goes off at 4:45. Di’s out the door at 7:00. No matter how hard [...]

It’s Sunday night—probably Monday morning by the time you read this post. I was just sitting by the fire and thinking backward when it occurred to me that I should let you know what’s on my mind.
I fought a brutal battle against feeling insignificant for years. It culminated on another cold night a few [...]

I’m not usually one to split hairs on film genres, but there are chick flicks and then there are chick flicks. If the only thing a movie has in it is romance, then it is a chick flick, pure and simple. But my world has expanded. My 10-year-old niece introduced me to a new concept: [...]

As I find my bearings working from home, I am realizing that maintaining my priorities is proving more difficult than I anticipated. Just as I have been for the last 30 years, I am still my own boss. However, going to the office each day helped me define my work life and the rest of [...]

I’m impressed. Somehow you have found PrestonGillham.com without me telling you it exists. How did you do that? I thought I was invisible to the spiders of the web. Ha.
Since you are here, I will let you in on my plan. The next few weeks are filled with uncertainty. There are travels, an assortment [...]

These are confusing days. The politics of an election year. The price of oil. Human rights issues. The economy. Globalization. Which direction should you look for guidance?

As you read my posts from the last few days, you can practically hear frustration oozing from the lines. The technical glitch was ridiculous. Getting it resolved bordered on insane. But I persisted. The glitch is gone (I think).
I am persistent. Persistence has carried me up and over Paradise Divide on my bicycle—and back [...]

A lot of folks figure that if you are a follower of Christ and lead people that you are a Christian leader. That’s trite. Too simplistic, and therefore contributes to abetting the enemy’s tactic of rendering Christianity and Christian leadership irrelevant, distant, and out of touch.
One aspect of leadership is leading the way. You [...]

Leadership is a delicate balance between building consensus and taking charge.
This week is not my own. I am sharing the kitchen, our bedroom, the bath, my study, and every other square inch of my world with my niece and nephew—ten and seven respectively. Since we are not their parents, Dianne and I are free to [...]

On the first day of September 2008 I began working from home. Not all at once, but gradually. I co-founded and then served as President and Chairman of a nonprofit for almost thirty years. Hanging up my spurs was quite a change.
After a few days of fly fishing to clear the cobwebs I began [...]

As you will soon discover, PrestonGillham.com is far from finished. In fact, I haven’t even figured it out. I’m being coached through this first post. As you poke around, you’ll see some “test” messages, empty categories, and “coming soon” signs. We’ll get there. It’s a start.
Backing up a step, I contacted my friend, Andy, [...]
