Somewhere around 70 of us had a good time at the Trinity Wellsprings Church’s Men’s Breakfast on Saturday. I spoke to the monthly 7:30am gathering this week on the idea of churches being engaged in the society around them. The crowd was attentive and responsive. M4L co-founder Tina Descovich was there and the example they have set as they celebrate their 4th anniversary was perfect for the occasion. Tina joined me for a few minutes taking questions relating to our topic her experience and motivation in being engaged.
Not all will agree, and this topic is no different, but what is our role in the society around us? We have a couple of compelling looks at the idea linked up for you in the Social section of the page.
The Republicans in the US House came to their senses on Friday and reelected Mike Johnson as its Speaker. They went a step further and made it more difficult to remove a speaker on some radical member’s whim. These are positive developments and bode well for the start of the Trump administration.
Friday we spoke with Florida House Majority Leader Tyler Sirois. We discussed the difference in the mindset of the House and Senate and we’ll revisit that today with Royce Bartlett, the hose of the Shooting Straight Radio Podcast. It’s unlikely any 2nd amendment issues will be addressed because of the Florida Senate and that’s frustrating to many of us.
It’s the start of our first full week of 2025.
