Join us for an in-depth discussion with Dr. Pete Chambers, a retired Green Beret, combat veteran, and Texas gubernatorial candidate. We explore the realities of border security, military service, government overreach, and the power of faith-driven leadership—all crucial issues shaping Texas and America's future.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:

John 10:8-15 TPT "All those who broke in before me are thieves who came to steal, but the sheep never listened to them. I am the Gateway. To enter through me is to experience life, freedom, and satisfaction. A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow! I am the Good Shepherd who lays down my life as a sacrifice for the sheep. But the worker who serves only for wages is not a real shepherd. Because he has no heart for the sheep he will run away and abandon them when he sees the wolf coming. And then the wolf mauls the sheep, drags them off, and scatters them. "I alone am the Good Shepherd, and I know those whose hearts are mine, for they recognize me and know me, just as my Father knows my heart and I know my Father's heart. I am ready to give my life for the sheep."
