Joellen Saddock claims that Christ’s message does not align with mainstream Christian teachings
POWHATAN, Va., Jan. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Although author Joellen Saddock was raised in a Christian household, she often found herself on the outside of religion, looking in. She wanted to explain the beauty of Christ’s message but discovered that her understanding of Christ stood in juxtaposition to mainstream Christianity. In her new book, “Christian Awakening,” she shares her coming-of-age story about how she found the answers to all her tough religious questions.
“Christian Awakening” explores the deeper meanings of the Bible, how Christianity parallels other religions, and shares the message of a loving unity between all of God’s people. Saddock implores readers to set aside the idea that man begins and ends in the confines of their own skin.
Although initially frustrated with the idea of reincarnation, Saddock recounts her personal experiences on the topic while explaining what the Bible means when referring to how a man can be “in the body of his ancestor,” and how “women received back their dead, raised to life again.” Tackling the distinction between reincarnation and resurrection, Saddock wants readers to consider if Jesus was actually teaching a different religion at all as she calls Hindu, Jains, and Buddhists her brethren.
“The current biblical interpretation keeps man feeling powerless,” Saddock said. “The bible says that the human body is a form of godliness. It is through a faulty interpretation that fundamentalists continue to deny its power. Jesus meant every word he said, man truly possesses mountain moving potential.”
Saddock calls her writing a self-help book for the religiously bereft, saying that it is a must read for anyone who has been confused by the Christian religion.
“More and more people have become skeptical of the forces that are governing them,” Saddock said. “My place in all this madness is to tell you that these same forces, mostly greed and power, that have corrupted the government, the media, and some of the medical field, have also corrupted Christ’s message. This happened long ago, even before the formation of Christian churches.”
Assuring readers that Jesus gave them permission to think outside the box, Saddock walks readers through points of the Bible that may be subject to misinterpretation, corruption, or mistranslation. She encourages readers to not only renew their mind, but join together in a loving unity of all God’s people.
“Christian Awakening” By Joellen Saddock ISBN: 9798765227152 (softcover); 9798765227176 (hardcover); 9798765227169 (electronic); 9798765235546 (audio) Available at Balboa Press, Amazon and Barnes & Noble
About the author Joellen Saddock resides in Virginia with her husband and four children. Although raised in a Christian household, she often found herself on the outside of religion looking in. Her story is a coming-of-age about the way she discovered answers to all her tough religious questions. More than anything, her story exemplifies how God’s law is actively working in life to multiply desires and assist in creating a life of possibilities. Her story is about man’s mountain-moving potential that has–until now– been obscured by religious hypocrites. To learn more, please visit https://www.joellensaddock.com/.

Super Bowl QB Colin Kaepernick, and holder of the all-time NFL record for most rushing yards in a game by a quarterback, took a knee during the playing of “The Star Spangled Banner” in 2016 to bring attention to systemic oppressions — specifically police terrorism — against Black and Brown people. For his stance, he has been denied employment by the league to this day. Since then, he has founded and helped to fund three organizations – Know Your Rights Camp, Kaepernick Media, and Kaepernick Publishing – that together advance the liberation of Black and Brown people through storytelling, systems change, and political education.

ABOUT GORDON PARKS
In a career that spanned more than 50 years, photographer, filmmaker, musician, and author Gordon Parks created a groundbreaking body of work that made him one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. Beginning in the 1940s, he documented American life and culture with a focus on social justice, race relations, the civil rights movement, and the Black American experience. Born into poverty and segregation in Fort Scott, Kansas, Parks was drawn to photography as a young man. Despite his lack of professional training, he won a Julius Rosenwald Fellowship in 1942; this led to a position with the photography section of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) in Washington, D.C., and later, the Office of War Information (OWI). By the mid-1940s, he was working as a freelance photographer for publications such as Vogue, Glamour, and Ebony. Parks was hired in 1948 as a staff photographer for Life magazine, where he spent more than two decades creating some of his most notable work. In 1969, he became the first Black American to write and direct a major feature film, The Learning Tree, based on his semi-autobiographical novel. His next directorial endeavor, Shaft (1971), helped define a genre known as Blaxploitation films. Parks continued photographing, publishing, and composing until his death in 2006.

Scale bolsters its Corporate & Securities practice with the addition of an experienced women-led corporate team
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Scale LLP, the full-service, national law firm built by former Silicon-Valley tech GCs to serve high-growth companies, announced today that Katy Reamon, Channah Rose, Jenna Geuke, and Tyler Hayden, formerly of Sage Law Group, are joining the firm’s growing Corporate & Securities practice. Katy Reamon will join Scale LLP as its new Corporate & Securities Co-Practice Group Leader.
The team expands Scale’s existing Colorado and Oregon footprints, bringing a sophisticated M&A, corporate and commercial transactions practice that serves a wide variety of high-growth industries, including SaaS and software deployment, biotech and medical devices, clean tech, venture capital and private equity.
This announcement follows recent news on Scale’s boutique firm acquisitions. As the premium national distributed firm, Scale sees opportunity in national expansion through strategic partnerships.
“Katy, Channah and their team are business lawyers and entrepreneurs with experience serving clients across every stage of growth,” said Scale Managing Partner David Reidy. “We were impressed by their practice, but as we got to know the team we also realized that they see the evolution and transformation of legal practice the same way we do. I couldn’t be more excited to welcome them to Scale and to continue building a national firm together,” said Reidy. “Katy Reamon’s role as Corporate & Securities Co-Practice Group Leader at Scale signals our belief in this team and our growth strategy. She’s an amazing addition to our leadership team.”
Reamon was attracted to Scale because of the firm’s entrepreneurial roots and collective culture. “Team is important to us, and we wanted to grow our practice by becoming part of a highly collaborative community that has a national reach,” Reamon said. “We share many core values, like humility, empathy, entrepreneurship, and inclusivity, and we are aligned in our desire to make the practice of law sustainable and fulfilling. We share that with other attorneys at Scale and are looking forward to complementing practice areas to address an even wider range of our clients’ day-to-day legal needs.”
“I was initially impressed by the caliber of attorneys at Scale. Everyone has a resume that screams ‘Excellence!’ But what won me over was the palpable energy and excitement I felt from every single attorney I spoke to,” said Partner Channah Rose. “It felt like a group of people that know they are building something truly unique and are having a blast doing it.”
Associates Jenna Geuke and Tyler Hayden will also join Scale. Geuke is a corporate and commercial attorney who takes a business-minded approach to legal solutions. Having worked as in-house counsel at Techstars, a top global accelerator company with an investment portfolio of over 2,500 companies, her experience has given her a deep familiarity with high-growth start-up challenges. Tyler Hayden is also a corporate and commercial attorney with a passion for entrepreneurship. It was Colorado’s thriving entrepreneurial scene that lured Tyler to relocate, and now startups rely on him to deliver practical legal advice.
The boutique team addition is the continuation of what Scale sees as a wave of opportunity to expand through strategic partnerships, leveraging technology and the new post-pandemic shift to a less localized practice of law. Scale VP of Talent, Jessica Sisco, who leads the firm’s recruiting initiatives, sees an uptick of high-quality boutique teams with interest in partnering with the growing Scale community. “Boutique law firm teams are seeing the opportunity to build fulfilling practices as part of a larger, remote firm network of high-caliber attorneys. They can share in collective practice success without having to shoulder the burdens of running the back-office,” observes Sisco. “It’s a no brainer for many boutique teams.”
