If he isn’t out on adventures with his new wife and son, you might find him serving his local church.

Today, he joins us to talk about the “Bring Your Bible Day” initiative- a day when believers take their Bibles with them throughout the day, proclaiming the Good News of the Gospel and the way God has worked in their lives.

“With over one million student participants in last year’s National Bring Your Bible to School Day, this year is shaping up to be the biggest yet, and it couldn’t come at a better time.”  Emerson emphasizes the excitement that is coming up on October 3rd.

The New Mexico Family Action Movement aims to transform the culture of New Mexico to one that honors God.

As a state that sadly fails to protect life, struggles in education, continues to rise in crime, and seems to be foolish in its attempts at being wise, most believers can agree that something is wrong in New Mexico.

New Mexico Family Action Movement is actively working to honor God as the people of God by “standing firm and taking action” (Daniel 11:32); to engage our culture and government; and to stand up for Biblical values.

Jodi Hendricks serves as the Executive Director of the Family Action Movement, and joins us in studio for an update on the organization.
