    Join Danielle Walker and Chris Alexander as they analyze Louisiana legislation, discussing bills related to election laws, property rights, climate change, and government accountability.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: Hebrews 8:1-4 TPT "Now this is the crowning point of what we are saying: We have a magnificent King-Priest who ministers for us at the right hand of God. He is enthroned with honor next to the throne of the Majesty on high. He serves in the holy sanctuary in the true heavenly tabernacle set up by God, and not by men. Since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, so the Messiah also had to bring some sacrifice. But since he didn't qualify to be an earthly priest, and there are already priests who offer sacrifices prescribed by the law, he offered in heaven a perfect sacrifice."
