Leslie is joined by Fred Redmond, Secretary-Treasurer of the 60 unions and 12.5 million members of the AFL-CIO. In 2022, he was unanimously elected to the position as the highest ranking African American officer in the history of America's labor movement. The two discuss President Trump's union busting executive order from last week. It strips the fundamental right to unionize and collectively bargain from workers across the federal government at more than 30 agencies. The workers who make sure our food is safe to eat, care for our veterans, protect us from public health emergencies and much more will no longer have a voice on the job or the ability to organize with their coworkers for better conditions at work so they can efficiently provide the services the public relies upon. It's clear that this order is punishment for unions who are leading the fight against the administration's illegal actions in court—and a blatant attempt to silence them. But if the Trump administration gets away with robbing federal workers of their right to collective bargaining with the stroke of a pen, it won't stop there. This illegal executive order is a threat to every union, every contract, and the freedom for every single person to organize on the job and speak up for themselves and their co-workers. Thankfully, representatives in Congress have introduced the bipartisan Protect America's Workforce Act, which would overturn Trump's executive order. We are asking every single American who cares about the fundamental freedom of all workers to join a union to call their member of Congress right now. Call them at 844-896-5059. Additionally, workers are joining with our allies and community members across the country tomorrow, April 5th, to tell President Trump and Elon Musk: Hands Off Our Unions! America's unions will be coming together with allies of labor at hundreds of events all across the country to send a message: Hands off our Social Security. Hands off our public schools. Hands off our Medicare. Hands off our jobs. And hands off our unions and our contracts! Visit www.Mobilize.us/HandsOff to find an event near you!

Send us a textEternity in heaven, with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is the ultimate goal for every believer. Unfortunately, many professing followers of Christ, including ministers of the Gospel, will give themselves far too much latitude as they age, letting go of the simple spiritual disciplines and convictions that have grounded them through decades of following Christ, only to be sidelined by the enemy just before they cross the finish line. Faithfulness, not just in ministry service, but in surrendered submission to the work of the Holy Spirit in our personal lives each day is the focus for our conversation today. Our featured guests Pastors Billy and Bettye Nickell recently celebrated 50 years of marriage and faithful ministerial service. They join us to share what they've learned is "the secret sauce" of living with integrity all the days of your life.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Billy and Bettye Nickell were elected as Lead Pastors of Amarillo's First Family Church, First Assembly of God, in March 2002. He served as the Presbyter of the of the North Plains Section from 1983-2010 and as an Executive Presbyter for twenty-three of those years. In April of 2010, Billy was elected to be the Secretary/Treasurer of the West Texas District, as well as one of three General Presbyters. He and Bettye traveled as evangelists for six-years prior to their 22-year pastorate at First Assembly of God in Canyon, Texas. He currently serves on the board of Pleasant Hills Children's Home in Fairfield, TX, and as a member of the board of regents at Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie. They have two daughters who live in Amarillo with their husbands and eight beautiful grandchildren. Billy's passion is sharing God's Word for the exclusive purposes of bringing glory to Christ and seeing lives eternally changed.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with today's guests, Billy & Bettye Nickell:Website: www.firstfamilychurch.orgYouTube: Amarillo First Family ChurchEmail: fantastic1316@gmail.comFeatured:Give Let's Talk with Sanctuary a Rating + Review!Learn about Let's Connect.Let's Connect listingsMany thanks to our host, Bridgette Tomlin, and engineer Justin Lynn of Justin Lynn Music.
