Trans Mailers Sent to Texas Kids, Obama for El-Sayed & How Christians Vote

A mystery mailer to Texas kids, Obama in Michigan, and how Christians should vote by the record.

Pastor Stephen Martin and Pastor Nathan Brown welcome Pastor Josh Brown to unpack the week's headlines: a "student resource guide" mailed to children across Texas, Barack Obama campaigning for Abdul El-Sayed, the Paxton–Talarico Senate race, France's riots, and a call to nationalize Starlink. They make the case that Christians should judge candidates by their record and their fruit, and why that matters for your family, your church, and your community.

You'll Learn:

✅ How to recognize the DARVO playbook and stay steady when you're called names

✅ What the Parable of the Talents and the Ten Commandments say about ownership and stealing

✅ Why the pastors say Christians must weigh policy records, not personalities
