What would it be like to preach from behind the same pulpit of a great preacher in Christian history?  I have been privileged to preach from stages once held by D.L.

Just what is in the Epstein Files?  Did Jeffery Epstein hang himself?  Are there rich and powerful names on a client list guilty of heinous crime against young women?  Is Ghislaine Maxwell complicit in sex trafficking?  We won't know until the Epstein files are taken from Pam Bondi's desk and released for us to see.  Its a subject everyone is talking about but one person has decided to do something about it.  Wisconsin Representative Clinton Anderson has introduced a resolution calling for the release of these files.  He has heard the voice of his constituents and leaped into action.
