    Jun 3 2026
    In this episode, Danielle Walker and Chris Alexander analyze Louisiana's 2026 legislative session, highlighting the bills they loved and hated. They discuss the implications of proposed laws on transparency, ethics, and personal freedoms, emphasizing the importance of citizen awareness and engagement. SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: Galatians 1:5-8 TPT "May all the glory be to God alone, throughout time and eternity. Amen! I am shocked over how quickly you have strayed away from the One who called you in the grace of Christ. I'm astounded that you now embrace a distorted gospel! That is a fake "gospel" that is simply not true. There is only one gospel—the good news of Christ! Yet you have allowed those who mingle law with grace to confuse you. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel different than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse!"
