In this episode, we explore Louisiana's insurance market, the impact of legislation on premiums, and innovative programs like fortified roofs. Our guest, Commissioner Tim Temple, shares insights on policy reforms, community resilience, and the importance of truth in public discourse. In the second hour, we delve into Louisiana's legislative battles over property rights and government overreach. The show explores the implications of eminent domain, flood mitigation programs, and the importance of individual sovereignty in the face of legislative and corporate interests.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:

2 Corinthians 2:14-17 TPT "God always makes his grace visible in Christ, who includes us as partners of his endless triumph. Through our yielded lives he spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere we go. We have become the unmistakable aroma of the victory of the Anointed One to God —a perfume of life to those being saved and the odor of death to those who are perishing. The unbelievers smell a deadly stench that leads to death, but believers smell the life-giving aroma that leads to abundant life. And who of us can rise to this challenge? For unlike so many, we are not peddlers of God's Word who water down the message. We are those sent from God with pure motives, who speak in the sight of God from our union with Christ."
