Colorado baker Jack Phillips reacted to the latest lawsuit against him being dropped and shared how his faith has grown over the past decade fighting legal battles.
Masterpiece Cake Shop owner Jack Phillips said his relationship with God has grown stronger over the past 12 years after facing multiple lawsuits and death threats for declining to create cakes with messages that violate his deeply held beliefs.

'So, it’s not about a personal issue, even though this person has stalked me, or you know, followed me for multiple years, 11 years at least. But I have nothing to forgive. This person isn’t an enemy,' he said.
