Oh my. I can’t find the words to express the beauty of your writing. God is glorified and my heart is filled with worship.

I've enjoyed your writing ever since I started on Substack months ago. Aligned with your biblical perspective, balance in your political perspective and love for your wife and family. And today I learned we have something else in common. Karen and I were at Operation Blue Suit in 1992!

Fantastic article, Virgil. You are living proof of the possibilities that God has made available to us if we are willing to take advantage of them. Thanks for sharing.

I am loving your reading in your own voice. The tiny little stumbles and corrections are so refreshingly human in a day of artifical perfect.

And what a beautiful post. Our God keeps His promises cannot lie! (Titus 1:2)

Wow! Another gem from Pastor Walker. Our country is amid a cultural battle for its future. I can, as the white son of a World War 2 veteran who experienced life-long adversity and never once gave in to it or cried victimhood, speak all day about this nation's merits given its divine founding and the availability of Christ's forgiveness and redemption. But the exact same message from black men like Pastor Walker, Jason Whitlock, Wesley Hunt, Byron Donalds, Thomas Sowell and other resonate so much more loudly at this most consequential time in our history.
