I conducted this interview a year ago. At the time, Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer was promoting his book. I found my time with Pastor Lahmeyer unsettling. He was twisting scripture and using the bible to push a political agenda. Not wanting to give credence to such a person, I chose to not publish the interview. This Sunday, I read that he was caught texting another woman, clubbing, going to see strippers, and professing his love for his mistress. If you'd like to hear what a phoney, hypocritical pastor sounds like on the eve of becoming a man whore, then listen to this interview.Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer leads Sheridan Church in Tulsa Oklahoma. He founded Pastors for Trump and joined President. Trump's White Hose Faith Council. He's currently running for Congress, hoping to secure the Republican nomination for Oklahoma's 1st District. However, on the eve of Republican primary, a scandal erupted. Leaked text messages show him flirting and and inviting former Miss Oklahoma to his hotel room. He sent her photos of himself, talked about being offered cocaine, going clubbing, and attending a strip club. Texts show he professed his love for her and said he couldn't divorce his wife "right now."***You can check out Ladies Love Politics website to read a transcript/references of this episode at www.ladieslovepolitics.com.Be sure to follow the Ladies Love Politics channel on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Truth Social, Brighteon Social, Threads, and Twitter.

While America's religious revival is being a bit overblown, the fact is that the long decline in church attendance and religious belief is over and a new era of stabilization may have begun. The media focuses on the extreme end of this -- the Christian nationalists, the surge in Orthodox conversion, etc -- but much of this is about the return of the  casual, non-fanatical churchgoer. The person open to being bored in a pew once a week rather than the believer who makes their faith the entirety of their being. Jessa and Nico discuss going back to church, what drove them away in the first place, and why the pope is back to being a central figure in political and religious life.

Parents, if your middle or high schooler isn't here on Wednesday nights at 7:00 PM, they are missing out on what God is doing! Check out this message from Student Pastor Tisha on why the church exists for the next generation and how we can all play a part in flipping the switch for them.

“Do I really have to go to church?” often reveals something deeper than attendance—it exposes whether we approach church as consumers or contributors. Scripture reminds us that the church is not an event or a building, but a people—a body and family where each person plays a vital role in spiritual growth. When we disengage, we drift toward stagnation, but when we invest, we grow, find purpose, and help others do the same. Church shifts from feeling optional to essential when we realize we don't just attend—we belong.Our regular service is at 10am on Sundays. We are located at 304 E. Austin Ave in Hutto, TX.

I Am, 7 of 7 from April 12 2026 “We wither without Jesus, but His life grows our love.” John 15 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)SUMMARYThis sermon explores Jesus' teaching in John 15, “I am the vine, you are the branches,” emphasizing that our spiritual life depends entirely on truly abiding in Him. Pastor Michael challenges listeners to move beyond superficial Christianity to genuine obedience to Jesus' command to love, highlighting that Jesus transforms us from enemies to friends and that we cannot manufacture this love ourselves, but instead it is produced as Christ's own life flows through us while we remain connected to Him.REFLECTION & DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to Aaron Dunn from Millington, NJ. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. We cannot do this without donors like you. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 11:17-22. But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part, for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized. When you come together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat. For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal. One goes hungry, another gets drunk. What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not. — 1 Corinthians 11:17-22 Paul now shifts to corruption in worship. Up to this point, he has addressed structure, symbols, and design. Now he confronts something more troubling — selfishness. The Corinthians were gathering—but their gatherings were doing harm, not good. Instead of unity, there was division. Instead of reverence, there was disregard. Instead of waiting for one another, some rushed ahead while others were left humiliated and hungry. Paul's words are sharp. Essentially he says: "I do not commend you." You see, it is possible to go to church and grieve worship. The issue was not that the church met or lacked structure. The issue in this text was that they treated the Lord's Supper as a private party for the elite rather than a shared proclamation for all believers. The meal meant to display unity instead exposed inequality. This is why Paul says, "It is not the Lord's Supper that you eat." They were eating bread and drinking wine—but they were not honoring the Lord. Worship had become self-focused rather than God-focused. And when worship turns inward, it stops looking upward. Paul reminds them that the church does not gather to satisfy appetites, assert status, or showcase freedom. The church gathers to proclaim Christ's sacrifice and to embody his self-giving love. Besides, at the cross, no one is elevated. No one is excluded. No one is overlooked. But the Corinthians were establishing social divisions at the very meal meant to erase them. Paul's warning still speaks. When worship centers on preference, presentation, convenience, or entitlement, it ceases to be worship at all. True worship begins before we ever walk into the room. It is a settled decision to turn our attention away from ourselves and toward Christ—to come ready to listen, ready to repent, ready to remember his sacrifice, and ready to love the people around us. So the next time you gather with the church, practice this discipline: consciously turn your mind away from what you like or dislike, away from the atmosphere or execution, and fix your attention on Christ alone. Let him be the focus. Anything less may look religious—but it does not look like Jesus. DO THIS: Before you gather for worship, pause and intentionally turn your attention toward Christ. Ask God to help you lay aside preferences, distractions, and expectations so you can come ready to listen, repent, remember Christ's sacrifice, and love the people around you. ASK THIS: What typically captures my attention when I enter worship—and why? Where might I be more focused on experience, presentation, or preference than on Christ himself? How does remembering Christ's sacrifice reshape the way I view the people gathered around me? PRAY THIS: Lord Jesus, forgive me when I come to worship focused on myself rather than on you. Train my heart to fix its attention on your sacrifice, your presence, and your people. Help me enter worship with humility, gratitude, and love so that my worship truly honors you. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Jesus Paid It All (Worthy of The Price)"

What is the difference between habitually missing church or removing it from your life, and simply missing a service? In this episode, the Thinking Fellows discuss the essential nature of gathering together as the Church while also considering how to admonish attendance without attacking faithful members who occasionally miss services.

This conversation gets heated in the best way. The crew unpacks what it actually means to be the church not a building, not a concert, not a social club but the body of Christ. PF argues that rejecting the church wholesale while claiming to follow Christ is a contradiction, and draws a sharp line between acceptance and tolerance that will challenge both sides of the debate.The episode digs into why church culture has become more about comfort than confrontation with truth, and why that shift is actually hurting people instead of helping them. PF compares the church to a hospital full of sick patients, if someone vomits on you, you don't leave the hospital. You're a patient too.Whether you've been hurt by the church, you're questioning whether you even need to attend, or you're someone in the pews wondering how to correct with grace this episode doesn't let anyone off the hook.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 – Cold Open: "Being a Christian Doesn't Mean You're Full of Christ"00:42 – Introductions & the Viral Video That Started It All02:04 – "God's Chosen Ones Don't Go to Church" Breaking Down the Claim03:30 – What Is the Church?

Bucky challenges us to examine what our love for church is really built on. Is it a favorite pastor, a certain program, or how well our preferences are met? When church becomes about what we get, disappointment is inevitable—and love can fade. This message moves us from a consumer mindset to a biblical one. If you've ever struggled with church hurt, drifting commitment, or viewing church as optional, this message brings you back to God's design—and to a deeper, Christ-centered love for His church.
