A Secret Service agent who protected Trump recently said something that SHOCKED everyone: “Trump has RUINED me — I could never protect another President the same way again.” And before you assume he meant that as criticism, WAIT until you understand what he really meant by “ruined,” because his explanation of Trump has left people across the Secret Service deeply emotional.
Here’s what the agent meant by “Trump ruined me”:
This Secret Service agent had protected several Presidents before Trump. He was professionally trained, followed every rule, and performed his duty with discipline, distance, and dedication. He protected each President the same way — until he was assigned to Trump. That’s when EVERYTHING changed.
The agent explained:
“Trump RUINED me for this job. Not because he’s difficult — but because he’s completely different. Trump knows my NAME. Other Presidents called me ‘agent.’ Trump calls me by my actual name.
He knows my WIFE’S name. He knows my CHILDREN’S names. He asks about my son’s baseball games. Trump notices when I’ve been standing for 8 hours and tells me, ‘Sit down, you need to rest.’
During long days, Trump makes sure EXTRA food is available: ‘Make sure my guys eat first.’
When my FATHER passed away, Trump came to his funeral. No cameras. No reporters. No publicity. He simply came to honor the man who raised the person protecting him.
After being treated like THIS — how could I ever return to being just ‘agent’ to another President?
After Trump remembered my CHILDREN’S names, how could I protect someone who wouldn’t even bother learning mine?
After Trump treated me like FAMILY, how could I go back to feeling like FURNITURE?
Trump RUINED me.
He raised the standard so HIGH for how a President can treat the people protecting him that I could never accept the old standard again.
That’s what I mean when I say he ‘ruined’ me.”
Here’s what this confession supposedly shows: Trump didn’t simply have Secret Service agents protecting him — he made them feel VALUED, RESPECTED, and treated like FAMILY. Once someone experiences that kind of personal respect, it becomes impossible to accept being treated like nothing more than equipment.

Revival is not about significant numbers of baptisms, although that could be the fruit of it. Revival is about a complete change of behavior. That's really what we're asking the Lord for—to bring a complete change of behavior in our lives. Let's raise our hands and say, "May it begin with us!"
We are seeing signs of a revival, but how can the Church step forward and lead our nation toward meaningful, lasting change?

Our Christian values and the belief that God is involved with our lives and impacting the outcomes of civilizations is not something new. It’s not fringe or peripheral. This Judeo-Christian worldview has been at the heart of our national formation since before our beginning as a nation. Our legal system, our educational system, our business values, and our community values were all derived from those Judeo-Christian principles.
The Bible was used as a textbook in our schools for decades. Pastors used to preach election sermons. They would talk about current issues, the candidates who were running, and their positions on those issues. At one point in our history, sermons were printed on the front page of the leading newspapers in the major cities. If you haven’t noticed, our money says, “In God We Trust.” This is the essence of who we are as a people.
So Church, let's show up and vote on November 3. Use your voice in the sphere of influence that God has given you.

Was America founded as a Christian nation?
Charlie Kirk answered this question better than anyone I've ever seen. I never get tired of this clip.

If anyone ever had reason to feel anxious or afraid, it was the apostle Paul. Here’s just a glimpse of what life was like for him, as told in the apostle’s own words: “Five different times the Jewish leaders gave me thirty-nine lashes. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. Once I spent a whole night and a day adrift at sea. I have traveled on many long journeys. I have faced danger from rivers and from robbers. I have faced danger from my own people, the Jews, as well as from the Gentiles. I have faced danger in the cities, in the deserts, and on the seas. And I have faced danger from men who claim to be believers but are not. I have worked hard and long, enduring many sleepless nights. I have been hungry and thirsty and have often gone without food. I have shivered in the cold, without enough clothing to keep me warm. Then, besides all this, I have the daily burden of my concern for all the churches” (2 Corinthians 11:24–28 NLT).
One of the things that amazes me about Paul is that he always seemed to rise to the top of every situation and seize every opportunity to preach the gospel, no matter how frightening his personal circumstances were.
Paul was fully convinced of the faithfulness of God and was sustained by that conviction. He chose to embrace boldness and contentment over fear. Let us do the same, with God’s help.
How can you choose boldness and contentment over fear in your life?

When God moves, there are some characteristics typically present. First, it's often uncomfortable. Second, it is not always easy or simple. In fact, when God begins to move, it's often difficult to imagine God is involved at all. You just recognize there's a lot of change. Third, in the midst of God moving, expressions of evil that oppose God's objectives become really visible. Finally, when God moves, He works in and through people.
Opposition isn’t proof God is absent. It’s often confirmation that He is at work. In this podcast, we look at the signs of revival we’re seeing today and what it will take for the Church to awaken the culture.

When our friend Jesus is prohibited from the public square, it’s called “tolerance.” When we speak of His principles and boundaries, it’s called “hate speech.” We had better wake up. We will either yield to the Spirit of Christ, or we will serve the spirit of antichrist. There’s no gray area, no third option. When we reject God—individually, as families, as communities of faith, as a nation—the result is tremendous suffering.

WOW: Players from the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries left the court during the national anthem for the second straight WNBA Finals game, then returned after it ended.
The league’s rulebook says players, coaches and trainers are to stand along the sideline or foul line during the anthem.

France has FREE health care, paid parental leave, paid family leave, FREE child care, FREE preschool, 5 weeks paid vacation, a 35 hour work week, generous unemployment and housing benefits, and heavily subsidized higher education.
Everything the left says they want AND THEY'RE STILL PROTESTING AND BURNING SHIT DOWN.

“I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful . . . this is God’s gift to man” (Ecclesiastes 3:12–13 ESV).
The county fair is controlled chaos: lights flashing, music blaring, and rides flinging people into the air like gravity is optional.
Greg and I were not there to ride the crazy rides. You know the ones I’m talking about: the rides that flip you upside down, spin you until your stomach files a formal complaint, and drop you from heights that make you question every life decision that led you there.
No, thank you. I was perfectly happy to enjoy the fair with my two feet planted firmly on the ground.
Our kids and grandkids, on the other hand, were all in.
For me, that’s where the real joy was—not in the rides, but in watching them disappear into the noise and come back laughing, breathless and, crazy enough, ready to go again!
And somewhere between the cheesy nachos and cinnamon pretzels (best described as “bad for you but worth it”), I had an unexpected quiet pause where everything settled for a moment, and I thought: Wow. This is a gift.
And I don’t think that’s an exaggeration. Scripture encourages us—implores us, really—to receive life with gratitude and joy.
“I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful . . . this is God’s gift to man” (Ecclesiastes 3:12–13 ESV).
This isn’t a shallow idea of happiness. It’s wisdom literature telling us that joy, gratitude and simple enjoyment are part of God’s design for life.
Paul echoes it in a different way when he reminds Timothy that God “richly provides us with everything to enjoy” (1 Timothy 6:17 ESV, emphasis added).
Everything.
Not just the “spiritual” things. Not just the mountaintop moments. But meals, laughter, family and even a loud, chaotic county fair!

Some see that we’re 5-2 and can’t win bc we “don’t have the people” or because we’re “cursed”
Those ppl are wrong
We’re 5-2 and a few plays away from being a Top 10 team in the country
Extreme focus & ownership
It’s going to happen in the 2nd half of the season

I agree with Pastor Philip Mitchell: the American pulpit has failed this nation.
For far too long, too many churches have embraced seeker-friendly preaching, watered-down sermons, and messages designed to please people rather than convict hearts. We have become so concerned with offending people that we have forgotten the power of preaching the uncompromising Word of God.
The pulpit was never meant to be a platform for entertainment. It was meant to be a place where truth is proclaimed, sin is confronted, repentance is preached, and Jesus Christ is exalted!
America doesn’t need more watered-down sermons. America needs a return to biblical truth!
Preachers must stop worrying about being politically correct and start being biblically faithful. We need men and women of God who will preach the whole counsel of God, even when the message is unpopular.
The Church cannot be the light of the world if it refuses to shine light on the darkness.
It’s time for the American pulpit to repent, return to the Word of God, and boldly proclaim the truth without compromise!

I know what the Bible says about the alien and the stranger among us. That's different from an invasion.
God didn't send Gideon to give rest to all the Midianites who were invading the nation. He led him to a group of 300 men who would bring an incredible victory because of God's power.
"Do not move the ancient boundary
Or go into the fields of the fatherless,
For their Redeemer is strong;
He will plead their case against you."
Proverbs 23:10-11 (NASB)
You had better not manipulate boundaries to take advantage of people who have less power than you, or God will take up the case.

Two years in absolute darkness. Two years starved, tortured, and forced to face unimaginable horrors underground after being stolen from a music festival on October 7.
They tried to break him. They made him dig his own grave—yet against every impossible odd, Evyatar David survived to walk into the light.
His return isn't just survival; it is a living, breathing testament to endurance, faith, and the unbreakable human spirit. Welcome home, Evyatar. Never forget what he survived. Never stop demanding that every single stolen soul be brought back. 🕊️🕯️
