As President Trump and his new administration take to the White House, many Americans are feeling hopeful—hopeful for the future of the nation, the economy, foreign policy, the job market, government efficiency, and even cultural changes as he rolls back certain DEI and woke policies. But even as many Christians rejoice in a new administration that will do more to promote righteousness and human flourishing than the previous one, we need to remember a vital truth: our hope is not in politics.
We’re finite human beings, living in the days God has placed us in, with a limited view of the past and no knowledge of the future (other than what God has revealed in his Word!). It’s easy for us to become so focused on the temporal that we forget we serve the God who is over all of history, who is sovereign, and who raises up and brings down leaders—good, bad, and in-between—for His own purposes and plans. Our hope for now and eternity is in that God, not in any man, party, or set of policies.

Yes, we can be thankful for the results of the election. We can and should praise God for His mercy in sparing us another term of rabidly pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ, and anti-freedom leaders. We should be thankful for the changes we’re already seeing in our culture and in major corporations as they walk back their woke policies. But we must always view everything through the Biblical lens of the God who is sovereign over all and who calls us, whether things are “good” or “bad” in this nation, to be about his business until he returns.
And really, we shouldn’t have to change from what we were doing during the last administration—we should have been on about the business of the King, anticipating His return. In other words, we should always be on about reaching as many as we can with the truth of God’s Word and the gospel.
I encourage you to take time today to pray for President Trump and his administration, including the men and women newly appointed to various roles. Pray that they will do what is right and just, with integrity. Pray that they will defend life and the family unit. And pray for their salvation! Then be about the King’s business of proclaiming His gospel and defending His truth until He returns. […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
