High Hopes, Dirty Dealing: The Real Record of Governor Jeff Landry (Series Premiere) | Ep. 420

This episode kicks off a series that will be critically examining Governor Landry's tenure so far, contrasting his campaign promises with his actual governance, especially focusing on legislative decisions, political maneuvers, and the importance of accountability in Louisiana politics.   SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: Galatians 2:9-12 TPT "When they all recognized this grace operating in my ministry, those who were recognized as influential pillars in the church—Jacob, Peter, and John—extended to Barnabas and me the warmth of Christian fellowship and honored my calling to minister to the gentiles, even as they were to go to the Jews. They simply requested one thing of me: that I would remember the poor and needy, which was the burden I was already carrying in my heart. When Peter visited Antioch, he caused the believers to stumble over his behavior, so I confronted him to his face. He enjoyed eating with the gentile believers who didn't keep the Jewish customs—up until the time Jacob's Jewish friends arrived from Jerusalem. When he saw them, he withdrew from his gentile friends—fearing how it would look to them if he ate with gentile believers."   ACTION & INFO FROM TODAY'S EPISODE: Join the Warriors' Circle: https://join.freedomstate.us/ for exclusive content and to have a voice in the topics of conversation we have here on TSOF.
