Summary
WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP in the White House again, many of his supporters might be tempted to assume everything in Washington is going to be all right.
That’s just what his adversaries want you to think.
In this episode, we discuss the Stay Awake America Tour, featuring guests Pastor Caspar McCloud (CasparMcCloudMusic.com), Renae’ Truex (RenaeTruex.com), and Ohio Amy (StayAweakeAmerica.com). Our conversation revolves around the importance of continued engagement in our society by President Trump’s Christian supporters.
Ohio Amy shares her role in organizing the tour, emphasizing the need for local action to support national change, especially in light of upcoming midterm elections. We discuss the urgency of addressing various societal issues, including health, education, and political engagement, while also highlighting the power of music and community in fostering hope and empowerment among attendees.
We also delve into the challenges faced by conservative voices in a politically charged environment, particularly in Nashville’s music scene (Renae’s home base). Our guests emphasize the importance of prayer and community support in combating the darkness they perceive in society.
The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to engage in their local communities and to participate in the Stay Awake America events, reinforcing the message that every individual has a role to play in shaping the future of the nation.
