Summary

Pastor Dustin interviews Cole Stevens, a trucking executive and born-again Christian running for Oklahoma House District 51, about his path from OU baseball to the family trucking business and into policy advocacy. Stevens describes discovering widespread use of non–English-speaking and allegedly illegal drivers in commercial trucking, prompting driver interviews, collaboration with American Truckers United, and work with Oklahoma legislators to pass Senate Bill 20, the Safe and Secure Roads Act, with an emergency clause and a ceremonial signing by Governor Stitt. He recounts writing Senator Markwayne Mullin, subsequent federal attention including a Trump executive order on English language proficiency audits, and Oklahoma’s Operation Guardian sting under a 287(g) ICE agreement. Stevens explains the national push for “Delilah’s Law,” tied to a crash involving Delilah Coleman, and efforts to gather signatures on a wrapped trailer while campaigning, emphasizing prayer, public safety, and Christian engagement in politics.00:00 Meet Cole Stevens00:46 Faith and Calling02:21 Life Beyond Politics04:30 Baseball to Trucking06:07 Palm Sunday Reflections07:53 Why Enter Politics08:08 Trucking Crisis Timeline11:10 Illegal CDL Discovery15:22 Safe Roads Act Fight18:30 CDL Standards and Safety19:31 Letter to Markwayne Mullen23:57 Launching the Campaign27:53 Trump Appointees Meeting31:06 Operation Guardian Explained33:48 EAD CDL Loophole34:57 Audit And Media Pushback35:22 Operation Guardian Findings37:26 Safety And Security Risks39:00 Delilah Law Explained43:52 Trump Endorses The Bill45:50 Wrapped Trailer Campaign55:03 Faith And Calling Reflections59:10 What Saying Yes Costs01:03:19 Gut Feeling Guidance01:04:54 Fasting And Breakthrough01:06:15 Prayer For The Campaign01:10:21 Grassroots Help And Signs01:11:41 Christians Speak Up01:13:26 Called To Stand01:18:38 Pray For All Leaders01:20:28 Community And Leadership Heart01:22:03 Rib Cookoff And Guatemala01:23:58 Closing Prayer And Sendoff
