This week I sat down with my friend Lisa Pannett of Armor Vine — a woman who tirelessly serves “We The People” while boldly following The Way, The Truth, and The Life — Jesus Christ.

Day in and day out, Lisa reads legislation, sits in the Capitol, and tracks what’s really happening in Jefferson City. It’s exhausting work — mentally, physically, spiritually — but she continues because truth matters.

In this episode, we break down some of the most significant legislation moving this session.

💰 Tax “Relief” — But at What Cost?

House Speaker Patterson is promoting two tax-related constitutional amendments:

* HJR 165https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/HJR165

* HJR 174https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/HJR174

While marketed as taxpayer-friendly, Lisa explains what these proposals could actually mean long term.

🔗 Interstate Compacts & Licensing Agreements

Are we handing sovereignty to the federal government?

* HB 1961https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/HB1961

* HB 2274https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/HB2274

* SB 1233https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/SB1233

Why are we entering agreements that potentially remove decision-making authority from Missouri citizens?

🏛️ Senate Power Plays

Why are Republican Senators blocking amendments from fellow Republicans — yet allowing Democrat amendments?

* SB 1092https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/SB1092

* SB 1405https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/SB1405

Pay attention to process — it matters.

🎰 Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) — “Gray Machines”

* HB 2989https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/HB2989

What are “Gray Machines”?Who benefits?And what will expanded gambling mean for Missouri communities?

🇺🇸 What Happened to the Veterans Bill?

* SB 1003 (Sen. Schnelting)https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/SB1003

What happened to legislation that would have helped Missouri veterans?

📹 Transparency in the Senate

There is a push to finally allow video on the Missouri Senate floor.

* SR 543https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/SR543

Call your Senator and tell them YES — transparency is needed.

🛑 The Personhood Amendment

* SJR 72https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/SJR72

Please be praying for the committee members hearing this resolution:

* That God would soften hearts

* Open ears to truth

* And that they would quickly vote this out of committee

This is one of the most important issues discussed.

Lisa’s message to listeners:

Whether legislators act the way we want them to or not, she assures us:

“They Are Listening.”

Stay engaged. Stay informed. Stay prayerful.
