Inviting God to the Table — Law, Miracles, and Why Preparation Is the Best Defense with Theresa Lynn Sidebotham. (S5E04)
The Shepherd at Work
Thursday, January 22, 2026 - 26 minutes
At three years old, Theresa patted the seat beside her and invited God to sit with her.
That posture—making room for God in the middle of real life—has shaped everything that followed.
In this episode, Krystal sits down with Theresa Lynn Sidebotham, founder of Telios Law, to explore law and legal issues through a distinctly Christian lens—and why legal compliance, preparation, and wise process are not acts of fear, but acts of stewardship.
Telios Law is built on a rare conviction:
that legal solutions should bring healing and life, not just protection.
Theresa explains how unresolved conflict, poor policies, and informal practices can quietly sabotage a mission—and how preventive planning, good governance, and clear processes can become a business’s strongest defense long before a lawsuit ever appears.
In this conversation, you’ll hear about:
-
Why legal compliance and preparation are not optional for faith-driven leaders
-
How good policy and good process can prevent crises before they start
-
When negotiation and preventive planning can avoid litigation altogether
-
Real stories of provision, protection, and moments that felt unmistakably miraculous
Theresa brings extraordinary depth to this conversation. Raised cross-culturally as a missionary kid, educated across continents, and shaped by decades of ministry, leadership, and law, she combines top-tier legal excellence with rare discernment. She graduated first in her law school class, was mentored by judges at the Colorado Court of Appeals, served religious institutions at a large firm, and went on to found Telios Law to serve businesses, ministries, churches, and individuals with integrity and courage.
Telios Law represents clients in litigation, investigations, appeals, and alternatives to litigation—while consistently emphasizing that preventive planning often saves far more than courtroom victories ever could.
This episode is practical.
It’s wise.
And it’s deeply grounding.
If you’re a business leader who wants to protect what God has entrusted to you…
If you believe faith and excellence belong together…
If you want to lead with clarity instead of reacting in crisis—
This conversation will equip you.
Good law doesn’t just reduce risk.
Done well, it preserves vision, protects people, and creates space for life to flourish.
