Melba Pattillo Beals – “I Will Not Fear”: It's been more than sixty years since that racially charged day when nine black students, protected by several national guardsmen, integrated the all-white Central High School. Most of us have only seen pictures and archive video of this iconic event in 1957, but Melba Pattillo Beals lived it. At just fifteen she was one of nine African American students to integrate Central High School in segregated Little Rock, Arkansas. Only her faith saw her through the hatred, anger and death threats she endured. Beals remembers that day with clarity. She writes about the journey of faith that gave her strength and courage to take on what must have seemed like the whole world. "I Will Not Fear," is her book that lives out for us all, Psalm 23. by Lighthouse FaithUNLIMITED

Description
Author Stephen Strang says it's hypocrisy that mainstream media on the left
skewers Donald Trump's Evangelical supporters, asking the question, 'How can
believers in Jesus Christ support a man known for his philandering?' Strang,
who's also the founder of Charisma Media, says, "Did we hold Lyndon Baines
Johnson or John Kennedy or Bill Clinton or a bunch of other people up to that
high standard? I don't think so." On this episode of Lighthouse Faith, Strang,
who's the author of "God And Donald Trump", and "Trump Aftershock: The
President’s Seismic Impact On Faith And Culture", talks about Trump's legal
woes, now that he's a convicted felon thanks to New York's District Attorney, and
why Evangelicals still support him. He points out that when Trump was a New
York billionaire Playboy, part of the social scene, attending Chelsea Clinton's
wedding, for instance, he was the darling of the press. But when he got serious
about life, protecting America's borders, joining the Republican Party, and
getting serious about his faith, that's when the media turned on him. Strang is
worried that many of the new Evangelicals are engaged in hero worship of
Trump, but he says most of Trump's supporters are silent, wanting only the right
choice for their communities and the country.
