DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY

“America needs a shield and a defender,” says David Stuckenberg, the COO of Genesis Systems and a current 2024 candidate for U.S. president. David is also a military strategist, veteran, and inventor. He discusses the downfall of America’s political system, the corruption of the money class and special interest groups, and offers an alternative at the ballot box in his candidacy that is focused on integrity, truth, and common sense. “We have done wrong placing our faith in men,” he shares. “Place your faith in God, first and foremost.” David breaks down why today’s politicians will never fix the problems plaguing America today and explains why China is perhaps the biggest threat the U.S. currently faces. “We have to have a strategy that America will stop any nation from surpassing it in strength,” he affirms.

New Age and Eastern mystery religions are tangled up in the popular practice of yoga and meditation, and it’s important to realize that those things are not Biblical. However, Rick Hamlin, an author and editor at Guideposts Magazine, dives deep into the practice of meditating on the Word of God and the power of contemplative prayer. He delves into the importance of understanding God’s answers to prayers in our lives, and how to stop and reflect on the truth found in scripture. He explains the definition of when the Bible says to meditate on something, it means to rest on it, to hold it, and to ultimately reflect on God’s power in our lives. Biblical reflection every day is a good and godly practice!
