President Trump defends Christianity, gender, and the truth of Holy Week-and the world is watching. In this powerful episode, I break down his Easter Message and why it's time for believers to rise up and stand firm in truth.

The blood of Jesus gives us victory over every attack that comes against us as we properly understand and apply the power of communion in our lives.

• Communion is our spiritual receipt proving Jesus has paid all our debts
• Death has already visited our house through Christ, so no further payment can be demanded
• When we apply communion properly, every trial must either leave or work for our good
• The Passover in Egypt demonstrates how blood application transforms slaves into sons
• Just as Israel spoiled Egypt after Passover, believers can claim abundance after communion
• Taking communion regularly reminds us of our authority and covenant rights
• President Trump's Holy Week message affirms his commitment to defend Christian faith
• We must learn to acknowledge what leaders do right even if we don't agree with everything

This Holy Week, take communion with new understanding and watch as God transforms your circumstances. Death has already visited your house—you are no longer a slave but a son or daughter with a divine inheritance.

Pastors Larry and Lorrie Russell share transformative insights from their 42-year marriage and decades of helping couples through Shepherd's Heart Ministry, focusing on forgiveness, communication, and emotional safety.

• True communication requires being "quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry"
• The "10-10" method allows each spouse five minutes of uninterrupted speaking while the partner actively listens
• Unforgiveness is like holding the rope of a ringing bell—when you let go, the sound gradually fades
• Five-step forgiveness process: express hurt, forgive specific actions, forgive yourself, ask God's forgiveness, and bless the person
• Remember you're not fighting your spouse but the enemy behind them—you're allies, not enemies
• Identify your emotional "air, water and food"—the non-negotiable needs you must have in relationship
• Love means "doing what's best for you even if it's hard for me"
• Follow God's priority structure: relationship with God first, spouse second, children third, ministry fourth
• Safety is the entry point to intimacy—create a space where both partners can be vulnerable without fear

Economist Jerry Boyer unpacks the biblical foundation of economics and reveals how Christian investors can reclaim their voice in the marketplace. We explore God's original economic design in Eden and how tariffs contradict God's plan for mutually beneficial global exchange.

• The Bible has economic dimensions that are often overlooked or flattened
• God created an economic system from the beginning with rivers flowing resources throughout Eden
• Christian money is being weaponized against Christian values through uninformed shareholder voting
• The "anointing track" and "business track" must work together for kingdom impact
• Confrontations about wealth in Scripture were about theft, not honest prosperity
• Tariffs disrupt God's design for nations to complement rather than compete with each other
• Christians can become change agents by investing strategically rather than just divesting
• Most Christian shareholders unknowingly vote in favor of policies they oppose
• The gates of hell are defensive - we're on offense when we engage economically

Consider how your investments may be voting against your values, and explore ways to align your economic choices with biblical principles. Together we can become the adult supervision in companies that have lost their way.
