On July 4, 2025, while fireworks filled the sky, President Trump quietly signed what he called the “Big, Beautiful Bill”—a sweeping piece of legislation that cuts billions from Medicaid, SNAP, and other social programs, while granting massive tax breaks to the top 1%.

And in this episode, Mark Casto delivers a monologue with a Kingdom perspective, exposing what’s really at stake and calling the Church to rise—not in outrage, but in obedience.
