This is Brad Bright and the GITI podcast where we show how God is the issue in every issue.

We can trace all our human problems to a broken view of God.

And that’s why we say that the problem in America today is not

that there it too much darkness, The problem is there is not enough

Today we are talking about what the Gov. of New Mexico did and said last week.

Politicians often say crazy things, but New Mexico Gov. Lujan Grisham

recently crossed the line, from crazy to dangerous! 

Honestly, I don’t think she even realizes the implications of what she said

and the devastating cultural implications. 

But by the end of this podcast, you will,  

What’s the solution?

YOU are the solution.

Only YOU can bring God back

your neighborhood, and your community.

The choice is simple.

The choice is yours.

You can start this coming Halloween by giving the children who knock on your door,

Give them a piece of candy

Pride Month 2023 is almost over.

I can almost feel the collective sigh of relief. 

For the past month secular culture

has been aggressively PUSHING its godless sexuality

on you and your family.

The question is:  What now?

I’m Brad Bright

and this is the GOD is the Issue podcast,

where we show that

GOD really is the issue in every issue.

I have great news for you!

There are 4 significant things

YOU can do in response to Gay Pride Month.

But first, let’s talk about what’s going

what HAS happened, and

where we go from here.

Clearly understanding the situation

is always the first step in

In this battle, one side WILL win,

and one side WILL lose.

So, my question for you is:

Which side do you want to be on?

Which side do you want your kids on?

If you want to be on the winning side,

you need to engage.

Yes, YOU!

We NEED to fight. We MUST

But we need to fight like Jesus. 

What does that even mean?

He never compromised TRUTH,

but He also never compromised LOVE.

What you believe about God

will determine which one you believe is true.

That’s true of all your neighbors and

4 RECOMMENDATIONS:

So here are my 4 recommendations

for how to respond to Pride Month:

Better yet, run for your local school board,

 or recruit someone else to

(LeadershipInstitute.org)

2) Vote with your wallet.

Use your wallet to encourage good behavior,

and to discourage bad behavior.

Be intentional about thinking this way

until it becomes second nature.

3) Make God the issue—in every issue. 

There’s nothing

racism, abortion,

—unless God

4) Pray.

God is smarter and stronger

than you will ever be. 

You are foolish not to consult with Him.

If you will begin to intentionally

I believe we can begin to turn America

—one community at a time.

God IS the issue.
