I urge my fellow elders among you to be compassionate shepherds who tenderly care for God's flock and who feed them well, for you have the responsibility to guide, protect, and oversee. Consider it a joyous pleasure and not merely a religious duty. Lead from the heart under God's leadership—not as a way to gain finances dishonestly but as a way to eagerly and cheerfully serve. Don't be controlling tyrants but lead others by your beautiful examples to the flock. And when the Shepherd-King appears, you will win the victor's crown of glory that never fades away."

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: "So why fool yourself and live under an illusion? Make no mistake about it, if anyone thinks he is wise by the world's standards, he will be made wiser by being a fool for God! For what the world says is wisdom is actually foolishness in God's eyes. As it is written: The cleverness of the know-it-alls becomes the trap that ensnares them. And again: The Lord sees right through the clever reasonings of the wise and knows that it's all a sham. So don't be proud of your allegiance to any human leader. For actually, you already have everything! It has all been given for your benefit, whether it is Paul or Apollos or Peter the Rock, or whether it's the world or life or death, or whether it's the present or the future—everything belongs to you! And now you are joined to the Messiah, who is joined to God." 1 Corinthians 3:18-23 TPT ACTION & INFO FROM TODAY'S EPISODE: Join TSOF's Warriors' Circle to get access to exclusive content: www.join.freedomstate.usVisit www.TomRenz.com to keep up with Tom's workVisit www.lacag.org/action-center to stay on top of the calls to action.

    Patriot Pulse with Joe Hoft: 2020 Is the Gift that Keeps on Giving | Ep. 359
    Dec 22 2025
    Join Danielle Walker and Chris Alexander as they dive into the heart of freedom, faith, and truth with special guest Joe Hoft. From the spirit of Christmas to the pulse of patriotism, this episode unravels the stories and insights that shape our nation. Tune in for a journey through courage, conviction, and the quest for justice. #Freedom #Truth #PatriotPulse SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: Luke 2:1-20 TPT "During those days, the Roman emperor, Caesar Augustus, ordered that the first census be taken throughout his empire. (Quirinius was the governor of Syria at that time.) Everyone had to travel to the hometown of their family to complete the mandatory census. So Joseph and his wife, Mary, left Nazareth, a village in Galilee, and journeyed to their hometown in Judea, to the village of Bethlehem, King David's ancient home. They were required to register there, since they were both direct descendants of David. Mary was pregnant and nearly ready to give birth. When they arrived in Bethlehem, Mary went into labor, and there she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped the newborn baby in strips of cloth, and Mary and Joseph laid him in a feeding trough since there was no available space in any upper room in the village. That night, in a field near Bethlehem, shepherds were watching over their flocks. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared in radiant splendor before them, lighting up the field with the blazing glory of God, and the shepherds were terrified! But the angel reassured them, saying, "Don't be afraid, for I have come to bring you good news, the most joyous news the world has ever heard! And it is for everyone everywhere! For today in Bethlehem a rescuer was born for you. He is the Lord YAHWEH, the Messiah. You will recognize him by this miraculous sign: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in the feeding trough!" Then all at once in the night sky, a vast number of glorious angels appeared, the very armies of heaven! And they all praised God, singing: "Glory to God in the highest realms of heaven! For there is peace and a good hope given to the sons of men." When the choir of angels disappeared and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go! Let's hurry and find this Word who is born in Bethlehem and see for ourselves what the Lord has revealed to us." So they hurried off and found their way to Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in a feeding trough. Upon seeing this miraculous sign, the shepherds recounted what had just happened. Everyone who heard the shepherds' story was astonished by what they were told. But Mary treasured all these things in her heart and often pondered what they meant. The shepherds returned to their flock, ecstatic over what had happened. They praised God and glorified him for all they had heard and seen for themselves, just like the angel had said."
