Cake Master Jack Phillips Releases New Book, 'The Cost of My Faith'
Jack Phillips, the man who made headlines back in 2012 for declining a request to bake a wedding cake celebrating a same-sex marriage, joins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss his new book regarding the incident, The Cost of My Faith: How a Decision in My Cake Shop Took Me to the Supreme Court. First, Giordano and Phillips discuss the power of Phillips’ faith, and the treatment he offers customers no matter what. Phillips recounts the day in question and the reaction of the customers when Phillips tried explaining his position. The case blew up into a national discussion of human rights, with people on both sides arguing either in favor of Mr. Phillips, or in favor of the customers, leading to a Supreme Court decision in favor of Phillips in 2018. Phillips explains what he learned through the entire case, and discusses how his faith pulled him through the entire situation.
