Hey everyone welcome once again to the conversations that Matter podcast I'm your host John

Harris we have a very busy man with us today, Pastored Senator Dusty Deavers from

the great state of Oklahoma. Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to join me and answer some questions and talk about some important things, Senator and Pastor Dusty Deavers.

Hey, John, thank you so much for having me, man. I really respect the work you are doing

and you've been doing for many years now.

And it's very thankless oftentimes,

and I've experienced some of the difficulty of doing a thankless job at times.

But I want to be one of the ones who encourages you and let you know.

I appreciate you, brother. Thank you so much know I appreciate you brother.

Thank you so much and I appreciate you.

The affection is mutual.

I know you've written some articles for Truth Script as well if people want to go check those out.

And so we've had some conversations in private chats and stuff, but we haven't done this yet. And so this may be the first of a few that we'll do in the future as you continue on in your role as a state senator in Oklahoma.

I want to let you talk and just inspire other men to take a stand for the right thing. You went from being a faster to now being a state

senator. That's kind of a heavy decision. I don't think people just casually

walk into that. So maybe walk us through that.

What did that look like for you?

Yeah, that's, that's, I'll try not to be too long,

but there is a long narrative, a story line that God has written and he's still writing that kind of led me to that decision.

You see some things in the background here.

This is my son's room. I'm at my house today.

I had a little bit of a reprieve and some of the work for my sentence seat.
