The Restoration of America
A Roadmap for Christian Employers
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
2 Chronicles 7:14

America Was Not Built by Spectators
The founders were merchants. Landowners. Tradesmen. Men of faith who ran businesses, employed neighbors, and understood one thing you cannot afford to forget. Freedom is not given. It is established, defended, and handed forward.
They did not wait for permission. They did not stay quiet to keep the peace. They stood, and they built a nation on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
That inheritance is yours now. So is the responsibility to defend it.
You are not a bystander to this moment. You are a steward of it.
Business Owners Have Power
You employ people. You shape communities. You write checks, cast votes, and speak in rooms where policy gets made.
That makes you something most people are not. A civic leader. Not a bystander.
Restoration Starts Here is built for Christian business owners who want to do more than vote. Who want to lead. In their companies. In their communities. In their culture.
Your business is a platform. Your leadership is a witness. Every hiring decision, every policy, every benefit plan either reflects your convictions or quietly surrenders them.
Lead with conviction. That is where restoration begins.
Five Freedoms. Every One of Them Contested.
This is not paranoia. These are documented policies, funded agendas, and open legislative proposals aimed directly at your freedom to run your business by conviction.
These threats are not coming someday. They are here. Right now. In all 50 states.
Five freedoms built America. Five freedoms are under assault. Here is what you are up against, and what it costs.
What Does the Bible Say About All This?
The threats facing Christian employers are not just political. They are spiritual. Our Biblical Foundations series walks through what Scripture actually teaches about money, government, work, and the role of the Church in a nation that has lost its way.
Explore Biblical Foundations5 in-depth essays. Grounded in Scripture. Written for business owners who lead with conviction.
The Principles We Defend
These are not political positions. They are the foundations upon which American freedom and your business were built.
Freedom of Conscience
The right to operate your business according to biblical conviction, without compulsion, coercion, or punishment from government or corporate pressure campaigns.
Financial Sovereignty
The freedom to earn, save, and transact without government surveillance, ideological compliance scores, or programmable currency that can be withheld by political decree.
A Nation Under God
The acknowledgment that America's founding covenant was Judeo-Christian, and that no foreign ideology, government mandate, or legal maneuver can erase that foundation.
The Pledge Is Private. The Stand Is Real.
This is not about publishing your name on a list. It never was. It is about refusing to retreat, and committing to lead your business by conviction rather than fear.
Your name stays private. Your convictions do not.
The signature is confidential. The leadership is visible in how you hire, how you build, and what you refuse to fund.
You do not need to publicize your name to stop compromising your beliefs. The pledge is personal. The faithfulness is public, in every decision you make as a business owner from this day forward.
Private commitment. Public conviction. Protected action.
Step 1 of 2: For Christian Business Owners and Employers
Sign the Private Restoration Pledge
Your name is never published. This is your private covenant with God and this community. Step 2 is legal protection through CEA membership.
"I, as a Christian business owner, pledge to:
- ✦ Stand: publicly affirm the Judeo-Christian foundations of America's liberty and my business
- ✦ Engage: vote, speak, and support candidates and policies that protect faith and freedom
- ✦ Defend: use my resources, relationships, and influence to oppose the forces dismantling America's foundations"
Your name stays private. Your convictions do not.
This is a personal commitment before God. We will never publish, share, or sell your information. The pledge is private. The faithfulness it calls you to is not.
The Two-Step Path: Conviction, Then Protection
Standing takes courage. Standing exposed takes everything.
One family-owned business faced $475 million a year in fines for refusing to fund abortion-causing drugs. Two years. Three courts. Millions of dollars. One family against the federal government. They won, but the cost of winning was staggering.
Most Christian employers cannot wage that fight. You don't have to.
Step 1
Sign the Restoration Pledge
Make your private, personal commitment to stand, engage, and defend. It's free. Your name is never published or shared. This is the first step.

The Founders Knew What Was at Stake
"The general Principles, on which the Fathers achieved Independence, were the only Principles in which that beautiful Assembly of young Gentlemen could Unite ... And what were these general Principles? I answer, the general Principles of Christianity ... and the general Principles of English and American Liberty."
John Adams, letter to Thomas Jefferson, June 28, 1813
A Movement Built on Conviction, Not Comfort
Christian business owners in all 50 states have taken the pledge. Not because it felt safe. Because they decided to stop retreating and start leading by conviction, in their policies, their hiring, their benefit plans, and what they refuse to fund.
Private commitment. Public conviction. Protected action. That is the three-part path this movement is built on.

Your Business Should Not Have to Hide Its Convictions
The pledge does not ask you to publish your name, make a public statement, or announce anything to your customers. What it asks is simpler and harder: that you commit, privately and before God, to lead your business without retreating from your convictions.
That leadership is not invisible. It shows up in your hiring policy. In what your health plan does and does not fund. In the vendors you choose and the causes you refuse to support. In whether you lead with courage or give ground an inch at a time.
"For such a time as this." Esther 4:14
"I run a 40-person manufacturing company. I couldn't put my name on something public. My largest customer would have pulled the contract. But I could sign this. It mattered more than I expected."
Business Owner, Texas
"My employees don't know I signed. My clients don't know. But God knows. And knowing there are 1,200 others like me, that alone changed something in how I lead."
Business Owner, Midwest
"I was going to skip it. Too risky, I thought. Then I realized that thinking 'it's too risky to privately commit to my faith' was exactly the problem. Signed immediately."

Before You Sign
Frequently Asked Questions
Before you sign the pledge or join CEA, you likely have questions. Here are direct answers to the ones Christian business owners ask most.
The Restoration Pledge
Is the pledge private?
Yes. Your name is never published, never searchable, never shared. But that is not the point of the pledge.
The pledge is private because your commitment to lead by conviction is between you and God, not because the stand itself is hidden. Private signature. Public faithfulness. The leadership shows up in how you run your business every day after you sign.
Will my name be published anywhere?
No. Your name is never published or shared. We count signers so we can show the movement's size — all 50 states and growing. We publish the count, never the names. Your identity stays confidential. Your convictions do not have to.
What happens after I sign?
Signing takes about 60 seconds. After that, the work begins. You will receive:
- ✓A confirmation of your pledge
- ✓Intelligence on the threats facing Christian employers, so you can lead and respond with clarity
- ✓A clear path to Step 2: protecting your business through CEA membership
The pledge is the commitment. Conviction is what you carry out of it. Protection is what CEA adds to it.
The Pledge vs. CEA Membership
What is the difference between the pledge and joining CEA?
They are two different steps. The pledge is your private, personal commitment to stand, engage, and defend. It's free. Your name is never published. It's the first step.
CEA membership is your protection. The moment you join, you're covered under two permanent federal court injunctions, starting day one. The pledge is the promise. Membership is the defense.
Is CEA membership required to sign the pledge?
No. Anyone can sign the pledge. It's free, it's private, and it requires no purchase.
But signing a pledge won't shield your business from a federal mandate. Conviction is the calling. Protection is what lets you keep answering it. That's why we point every signer toward the next step: CEA membership.
Legal Protection
How does the legal protection work?
CEA has already won the court battles most employers can't afford to fight. The moment you join, you're covered under two permanent federal court injunctions. No waiting period. No application backlog. No fees to activate coverage.
Standing Alone
- ✕ A lawsuit
- ✕ Years of litigation
- ✕ $1 million+ in legal fees
- ✕ An uncertain outcome
Standing with CEA
- ✓ Already protected
- ✓ No lawsuit
- ✓ No legal fees
- ✓ No years in court
What are the two federal injunctions?
Two permanent federal court orders that protect every current and future CEA member:
- 1.CEA v. Azar (2019) — protects members from federal mandates forcing them to cover abortion-causing drugs and devices in their health plans.
- 2.CEA v. EEOC (2024) — won alongside Alliance Defending Freedom, this order blocks mandates forcing members to cover or perform gender-transition procedures.
These are not opinions or policy positions. They are permanent federal court orders, protecting every CEA member, present and future.
How much does CEA membership cost?
Membership is structured to fit small to mid-sized firms, with tiers based on your organization. Compare that to the alternative: one family-owned business faced $475 million a year in fines for refusing to fund abortion-causing drugs. Two years. Three courts. Millions of dollars.
Membership costs a fraction of a single day in court. Visit joinceanow.org for current tiers and to find the level that fits your business.
Who This Is For
Who is this campaign for?
Christian business owners and employers who lead by biblical conviction and refuse to hide it. If you run a small to mid-sized firm, integrate your faith into how you hire, lead, and build, and feel the growing pressure to compromise, this is for you.
Your business is a platform. Your leadership is a witness. This campaign exists so you can keep both.
What threats is this campaign addressing?
Documented threats to your freedom to run your business by conviction. Not hypotheticals. Real policies, funded agendas, and open legislative proposals:
- ✓Marxist ideology — DEI, ESG, and Critical Theory reaching into your HR department
- ✓Central Bank Digital Currency — a currency built to track and control every transaction
- ✓Foreign influence — foreign capital buying American farmland, funding programs, and shaping media
- ✓Forced secularization — mandates and litigation demanding you fund what Scripture forbids
These threats are here. Right now. In all 50 states. The pledge is your first stand. CEA membership is your protection.
