When we take a look around at the events that are taking place across America, we can see the tensions that are increasing throughout the land; racial tensions, Ferguson, Baltimore, across the world, and possibly even in our own communities. There is an elephant in the room that, for a long time has not been talked about and only the church can remedy: racism. As a man who has more than 30 years of experience in a multitude of areas, from community involvement, leadership, law enforcement, and a believer in Christ, Assistant Chief of Police David Alexander not only has a real – world perspective when addressing racism, but also a Biblical perspective.
Hear the full conversation of what was shared, how the Church can remedy and respond to the elephant that is in the room, what it means to say “go back to the way things were”, how we are to move in justice, how we can be involved in our communities, as the Church, and so much more. Greg and Assistant Chief of the Pensacola Police Department, David Alexander shared in this segment.

LISTEN NOW! WATCH FULL PROGRAM! When recently speaking with Rick Joyner, Lance Wallnau addresses how the Church needs to mobilize and organize in this hour and become an “echo chamber” for President Trump. As Charisma News is reporting, Wallnau addresses how the Church is presently not responding the way it needs to. “I’m jumping out of my skin because I’m hearing people say stuff that on one hand, it’s anointed, but on the other hand, I hear the datedness of how we think because we all go back to the old paradigm.” When addressing the chaotic events of Hurricane Katrina, Wallnau highlights how the Church didn’t have a plan to respond to the many needs that presented themselves. “The Body of Christ in America has got to become as muscular and coherent in modeling answers to problems as the progressive left is.”
With this in mind, Wallnau expresses the importance that we, individually, must know where God has called us to make an impact for the Kingdom of God. “Individuals should be oracles in their sphere, they should know what giant they’re after…like a good military thing. If you’re moving in all directions, you’re not moving anywhere. Everyone here should know what sphere they’re called to go into, and how to articulate in a powerful and compelling way the truth that displaces the lie.”
God has called us to advance His Kingdom and to walk out His Kingdom. God has given us wisdom through His Word to do this. He has also given us the resource of VFN Kingdom Business to empower and mobilize others in order to effectively impact their sphere for the Kingdom of God. Now is the time for the Church to mobilize and respond. God is into you. Whether you are involved in business, in media, in education, or any of the other spheres of influence, God is wanting you to have the tools we need to walk out that plan. Come join with us at VFNKB as we seek to do this exact truth. Be encouraged in your walk with the Lord as you are not only given tools to help you, but also come alongside other leaders who are seeking to do the very same thing, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: business, Kingdom, Arts & Entertainment, government, family, prophetically, duck dynasty, race relations, and university campuses. Greg and John shared in this segment.

LISTEN NOW! WATCH FULL PROGRAM! It appears the very things that used to have value, no longer have value. When someone gets a recognition or an award for their achievements, the moment of thanks is now being used to slander and criticize government with no apology afterwards. When we get a new President in office, the leadership barely has time to breathe before the judgments come. Truth of the matter is this: “The seat of evil is coming down and the seat of righteousness is rising”. This is exactly what the Lord has shown and told us would happen.
As President Trump is walking out his starting days in office, he has continually spoken out in support and defense of the Constitution, of The Church, as well as Israel. These are important topics to recognize. As we have continually lifted up President Obama when he held the Office of Presidency, we continue to lift up the Office as now President Trump takes over leadership. President Trump continues to keep the American people abreast of his events and actions with his weekly addresses.
The President pointed out the rich African American history in our land. “We are blessed by the lives and examples of those who have made this nation of beacon of freedom, talent, and unbreakable American spirit.” He also talks about his recent visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture located at The Mall in Washington, D.C. “It also tells of the great struggle for freedom and equality that prevailed against the sins of slavery and the injustice of discrimination.”
The President expressed his steadfast resolve to work as hard as possible in order to make opportunities available for every American.
“Today and every day I pledge to continue that march so that every American no matter his background, no matter her background has the chance to climb that great ladder of success… I want every disadvantaged child in America to have a choice on where they go to school. So Important. I also want to honor and promote the achievements of historically black colleges and universities throughout our nation… In order to help African Americans thrive, we’re working very to make sure that every child can grow up in a safe community and have access to high paying jobs.
It hasn’t even been 40 days yet since President Trump raised his right hand and repeated the words of the Oath of Office. It is reportedly being shared that President Trump will be the first President who is being given a hard time for fulfilling his promises. Why would we watch a source of media that focuses on the events that we know are going to raise our blood pressure only to see the very commercials for the medicine for the ailments that we have just from watching the news? We don’t need more information. We need God.

This led Greg to ask the question, “What is the racial makeup of America?” According to Wikipedia, the racial mix of America is ‘White 72.4%, Black or African American 12.6%, Asian 4.8%, Native American and Alaska Natives 0.9%, Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders 0.2%, two or more races 2.9%, and some other race 6.2%.’

As the Church, we cannot expect the world to have the conversation that must be acknowledged. Watch the full interview with Ben Watson, the continuing wisdom, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Ferguson, racism, emotions, injustice, sin, evil, Civil Christianity, Samaritan Woman, Sidney Portier, neighborhoods, and relationships. Greg and John shared in this segment.
LISTEN NOW! Ferguson is again in the news from late night headlines as 2 officers have been shot. According to reports, one officer has been shot in the face and the other has been shot in the shoulder. How many people have promoted the anger that we are witnessing? It appears that the media is capturing the events, the imagery, and pushing it. During the engagements of gunfire, a video captures the live events that took place as these events unfolded. Moments after muzzle flashes shined into the night, the video captures a bystander stating, “….acknowledgement 9 months ago would of kept that from happening…” This is not how we are to respond; not as human beings; not as the Body of Christ. If we respond in anger to the anger and hatred that is fueling the environment, we are only making it stronger. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stated, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
As we see the violence and uproar of voices increasing in America, the Department of Homeland Security has released a video on how people can respond to a situation if an armed gunmen enters the workplace and begins to randomly kill innocent bystanders: Run, Hide, or Fight. When we look at the past events in America: the borders of America, Fast and Furious, did they know these events would soon come? Many are the injustices that have happened in America; both in our present day and our history. This is true. We have to be mindful of those who are using the pain and injustices of others to promote and fuel their own agenda. It is basic Alinsky Tactics 101 to push us to respond in anger. As the Church, we are not to respond with the world’s mindset, but, we must respond with compassion and wisdom. Hear about the timeline of events that took place, a perspective of police officers some may not be aware of, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: Ferguson, injustices, ISIS, Saul Alinsky, Grand Theft Auto, police officers shot, bars, how the church must respond, and so much more. Greg and John shared in this segment.

Instinct to Increase: A Conversation with Bishop T.D. Jakes
Instinct: The Power to Unleash Your Inborn Drive
LISTEN NOW! Greg and Pat discuss how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. showed us how to honor God and the Constitution as the law of the land. We need to know how to respond to all that is going on around us. Dr. King saw injustice where black men and women were treated differently because of the color of their skin. For instance they were not allowed to drink out of the same water fountains as white people. At one point he decided to be a pioneer. He started in his church and then began to share with the rest of the country. Dr. King showed us how we can peacefully honor God and the Law of the land when standing for justice, in the midst of dogs being sent to attack them. He allowed the justice system to work. The ends don’t justify the means. For Christians the “means” are everything because Jesus already took care of the end on the cross. They encourage us to get a pocket constitution and defend it.
