It’s exciting to hear more and more God-fearing people speaking up on Substack, Facebook, LinkedIn, and among govt officials (Texas AG Paxton!) and high-profile professional athletes. When we are faithfully in the Word—“in the Spirit”—the Spirit is in us and “we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard” (Acts 4:20). Because we are praying for a new Great Awakening, praise God, He is answering our prayers.

I love the “pray by name” principle and today I’m including Jalen Hurts, Judges Doughty, Porzio, Worrell, Steinmann, Willett, Elrod, Clement, and you, Jennifer. The more you post, the more peaceful and confident you sound. God is blessing you for speaking up, testifying to your faith, taking a stand, and being a blessing to your readers. More power to you.

At different times in my life, different passages have appeared in unexpected places and often in His still, small, undeniable voice. E.g., despite getting a little less steady on my feet, I’ve taken on a construction project that demands more physicality than I’ve tapped into in a long time. On more than one occasion, I’ve stumbled or tripped on something but quite miraculously recovered my feet. Clearly and immediately, I heard in my mind’s ear, “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone,” or in my case, a 2x4 or the ground below a ladder rung I missed (Psalm 91:11-12). It's a simple formula: believe and trust in His goodness and mercy, and “goodness and mercy shall follow” (Psalm 23:6). Or as my childhood pastor used to say, “Believing is seeing.”

Jennifer, I love the people you brought together here. Such a blessing for me and I hope for all of us. Maybe your former employer needs to hear, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives” (Genesis 50:20).
