Governing God's Way with Dorothy Burton

One of the hardest moments any leader will face is knowing when it’s time to step aside. To exit the stage not in defeat, but in dignity.

Whether you’re leading a nation, a company, a ministry, or a family—the courage to let go when it’s time is what often defines a great leader from a good one.

"How Donald Trump is exploiting fears over a declining white majority in America."

It's what we call it in TEXAS when you're all show but no go. A perpetrator . And it is all sizzle nothing spiritual about Donald Trump.

This administration is advancing a calculated effort to consolidate church power in America, aligning it solely with the interests of the MAGA movement. Standing in their way are two key protections—the Establishment Clause and the Johnson Amendment—which have long safeguarded both American democracy and the integrity of Christianity itself. These protections are now under relentless attack.

What’s at stake? A nationwide network of churches bound by a single political ideology. Those that resist risk being marginalized—or crushed altogether.

Think it can’t happen? It already is.

Dr. David Brockman sheds light on the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), a movement whose followers believe Christians are divinely mandated to seize total control of government—and view President Donald Trump as God's chosen leader.

The Southern Poverty Law Center describes NAR as "the greatest threat to U.S. democracy you've never heard of," while Dr. Brockman calls it "Christian nationalism on steroids."

Through his research, Dr. Brockman helps us understand the growing influence and dangers of this radical ideology.

Author Jacquelyn Harvey shattered the barriers of segregation in Monroe, Louisiana. In her powerful book, Forged When Sugar Tastes Like Salt, she shares a deeply personal account of how segregation impacted her life and the lives of those around her. As the first Black student to attend an all-white school in Monroe, she made history—becoming the first Black “Rebel.”

It's a compelling and courageous story of resilience, change, and breaking through racial boundaries.

In Part I of this conversation, Dallas attorney Calvin Johnson breaks down the murder case involving Karmelo Anthony—the 17-year-old black Frisco teen accused of fatally stabbing 17-year-old white teen Austin Metcalf during a track meet in Frisco this past April.

In this insightful conversation, Dr. Fred Bonner explores the fundamental differences between European and African worldviews. We Are Not Like Them is a timely, thought-provoking dialogue that speaks directly to the cultural tensions and questions of identity we face today.

Seventeen-year-old Karmelo Anthony admitted to police at the scene of a track meet in Frisco, Texas that he stabbed fellow teen, 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. Austin later died from his injuries, and Karmelo has since been charged with murder.

Karmelo is Black. Austin was white. Since the fatal stabbing on April 2, the case has taken on a racial dimension, fueling tensions both locally and online.

Presiding over the case is Judge Angela Tucker, a Republican and also Black. She has reportedly been doxxed and, like the Anthony family, has faced ongoing threats, prompting both parties to increase their security measures.

Karmelo’s admission, combined with the racial dynamics and public outcry, has made this a complex and emotionally charged case.

Dallas Attorney, Calvin Johnson, joins me to break down the legal details and offer insight into what to expect next in this tragic and closely watched case.

Joseph of Arimathea is a name history remembers—for good reason.

While most of the Jewish leaders rejected Jesus, Joseph secretly believed.

A wealthy and powerful member of the Sanhedrin, Joseph had every reason to stay silent.

Every reason to play it safe. But when the moment of truth came, he didn't.

God had not given Joseph influence just to fit in—He had raised him up for a purpose.

And when fear and faith collided, Joseph chose faith.

His story shouts to us today: We cannot follow Jesus and fear people at the same time.

One will always overtake the other. Joseph’s purpose triumphed over his fear—and it changed everything.

Yours can too.
