David Soberg
Moderator: Rejecting the Herd Mentality, Guest Blogger

Dave Soberg is the Operations Manager of a commercial cleaning business. He has twenty-seven
years of industry experience in a supervisory/managerial role. He owned and operated a
janitorial business for three years. He graduated from the Carlson School of Management,
University of Minnesota, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration.

Dave was raised in a Christian home, but after a horrible experience with the family minister
after the death of his father, Dave put organized religion behind him and became
agnosto-atheistic (his words) for many years. He has recently come back to the Christian faith,
and is able to see the world from both viewpoints. Known for his combination of biting humor
and gentle sensitivity, we never quite know what will come from him next!

Joy Bischoff
Moderator: World Economy, Judaeo-Christian Values Under Attack,
Presidential Election 2008, and What’s News

Joy Bischoff is the mother of six, with five boys and one daughter. From 1996 to 2000,
she returned to school at BYU majoring in Middle Eastern Studies with a Hebrew emphasis.
She has a lifelong passion for politics and spends a great deal of time studying current
issues. When she was younger, Joy had a top secret clearance and worked in a highly
sensitive government project. The things she learned from that experience showed her a
different world than what is readily apparent to most people and prepared her to sift
fact from fiction in the political realm. Joy is proficient in the Spanish language. She
has never met a Sudoku puzzle she doesn’t love. Challenge her–I dare you!

Roy Bischoff
Moderator: Constitution in Peril

Roy Bischoff was raised in Las Vegas, Nevada and currently lives in Moapa, 45 miles north
of Las Vegas. After selling a home and business, he moved with five small children, and
one on the way, to Tennessee where he attended school and received a degree in
International Relations from Middle Tennessee State University.

The family then moved to Provo where he earned two degrees from BYU, a Masters of
Public Administration, and a Juris Doctorate. Though not currently working as an
attorney, Roy continues to have an interest in Constitutional issues. At the end
of his work day, Roy enjoys gardening, singing in an a cappella choir, reading,
and helping his wife with writing projects. Roy has experience both in Spanish
and German languages.

Jump Right In, Please!

We have worked hard to make our blog a friendly place to visit. We welcome everyone to join in our conversations. We are non-denominational and accept people from both sides of the political aisle, as long as everyone is treated with respect and there is no flaming. We are aware that many may feel that their writing is inadequate or that they have nothing valuable to contribute, but we encourage all to participate. Please do not feel intimidated here--we are all friends. Even a short "I agree" or "Well said" is appreciated. The only stupid questions are the ones that are not asked. Don't let Stumpy and stories about his donkey bother you. He really is just a sweet, old man! Please spread the word about us and let others know we are here.

Our Mission Statement

Encourage people to learn about our Constitution and the freedoms it preserves and to have faith in the Judaeo-Christian principles upon which it is based so that when those freedoms are threatened action may be taken to protect them.

In support of our mission statement, here is our Three-Fold Purpose of the blog, In God We Trust.

1. Defining and spreading an understanding of our Constitutional freedoms for the purpose of sustaining those freedoms.

2. Identifying threats to the unity of the conservative base, and helping people to resist the pressure to compromise values as an answer to political tensions.

3. Spreading the message that the key for healing the nation is showing respect, tolerance and kindness as we accept the political differences of others.

Our Blog Theme Song:
"In God We Still Trust" by Diamond Rio
