In Free Enough to Grow: The Turkish Protestant Movement, 1961-2016 (Springer Nature, 2026), James Bultema identifies and investigates four central factors that gave rise to the Turkish Protestant movement in the latter half of the twentieth century and the early years of the twenty-first century. Drawing on qualitative interviews and historical studies the book explores the complex interplay of religious freedom, missionary activity, interdependent choice, and multilevel plausibility structures. An imperfect but sufficient religious freedom created the soil for the growth of mostly tiny Turkish Protestant churches that were countercultural and vulnerable, but also vitally interconnected. This work provides an extensive mission history of the Turkish Protestant movement.

The book is part of the Springer series Boundaries of Religious Freedom: Regulating Religion in Diverse Societies and was awarded the Science Award on Religious Freedom 2026 the Freie Theologische Hochschule (FTH) Gießen, Germany.

Andrew Riddaugh built his company around a problem most business owners ignore–they depend on systems that can shut them out instantly.

In this conversation with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt, Andrew traces his path from presidential advance and the 2020 campaign to launching Liberation Technology Services after watching platforms remove access and control communication through vague enforcement.

That exposure shows up inside businesses when data lives across too many platforms, email stops reaching customers without warning, and one outage can interrupt operations overnight.

The change comes from bringing infrastructure, communication, and files into one controlled environment where businesses can see what they own and resolve problems quickly.

Today Andrew Riddaugh helps business owners reduce dependence on outside platforms, protect private communication, and build operations that are harder to disrupt.
