    Insurance in Focus: What Every Resident of Louisiana Needs to Know | Tim Temple | Ep. 385
    Apr 2 2026
    In this episode, we explore Louisiana's insurance market, the impact of legislation on premiums, and innovative programs like fortified roofs. Our guest, Commissioner Tim Temple, shares insights on policy reforms, community resilience, and the importance of truth in public discourse. In the second hour, we delve into Louisiana's legislative battles over property rights and government overreach. The show explores the implications of eminent domain, flood mitigation programs, and the importance of individual sovereignty in the face of legislative and corporate interests. SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: 2 Corinthians 2:14-17 TPT "God always makes his grace visible in Christ, who includes us as partners of his endless triumph. Through our yielded lives he spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere we go. We have become the unmistakable aroma of the victory of the Anointed One to God —a perfume of life to those being saved and the odor of death to those who are perishing. The unbelievers smell a deadly stench that leads to death, but believers smell the life-giving aroma that leads to abundant life. And who of us can rise to this challenge? For unlike so many, we are not peddlers of God's Word who water down the message. We are those sent from God with pure motives, who speak in the sight of God from our union with Christ."

    What's Really at Stake for Families, Landowners, and Free Thinkers in Louisiana? | Ep. 384
    Mar 31 2026
    SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: Romans 8:1-4 TPT "So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One. For the "law" of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the "law" of sin and death. For God achieved what the law was unable to accomplish, because the law was limited by the weakness of human nature. Yet God sent us his Son in human form to identify with human weakness. Clothed with humanity, God's Son gave his body to be the sin-offering so that God could once and for all condemn the guilt and power of sin. So now every righteous requirement of the law can be fulfilled through the Anointed One living his life in us. And we are free to live, not according to our flesh, but by the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit!"

    Warrior Wednesday: Our Analysis, Your Input: An All Points Conversation | Ep. 7
    Apr 1 2026
    This episode covers the recent legislative session in Louisiana, focusing on property rights, eminent domain, and the fight against carbon capture and sequestration legislation. Featuring in-depth analysis of testimonies, legislative votes, and key political figures, it provides valuable insights into the ongoing battle for property rights and constitutional protections. SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: 1 Samuel 12:13-16 NASB1995 "Now therefore, here is the king whom you have chosen, whom you have asked for, and behold, the Lord has set a king over you. If you will fear the Lord and serve Him, and listen to His voice and not rebel against the command of the Lord, then both you and also the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God. If you will not listen to the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the command of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you, as it was against your fathers. Even now, take your stand and see this great thing which the Lord will do before your eyes."
