"The Politics of Power - How So Many Christians In Politics Have Been Deceived"
The reason the American political system is so out of order is because God's people and leaders WITHIN the political system are so out of order. This podcast explains why and how to bring this country back from the brink - and not by wrangling it away from the American people and declaring it to be a "Christian nation."

Dangerous Alliances
We have to be careful who we align ourselves with and we must have the courage to surround ourselves with staff and advisors who will tell us the truth, even when truth is the last thing you want to hear. This episode explores a point in time in the life of the two most powerful leaders of their day - King Jehoshaphat and King Ahab. Two leaders, two philosophies in leadership, and two strikingly different outcomes. As a leader, your people aren’t doing you any favors by lying to you.

How To Talk Back To The Devil!
The Devil is his title. Satan is his name. And he is after the control tower of our life. Our mind. If he can control our mind, he will control our life.
As the control tower dictates what happens in the cockpit and on the runway - so does our mind dictate what happens in our life, for all of our life.
If the control tower is off, the entire flight will be off course and may even crash and burn. That's what the Devil wants - to take control of our mind so that he can run our life into the ground.
If we allow him to take control of our mind, he will take control of our life.
Never let the Devil have the last word. If you do, it will be the last of you.
This podcast teaches you how to effectively talk back to the Devil -- taking our cues from Jesus.

"How Satan Takes Out the Best of Leaders"
No matter who we are. No matter our title, position or status. No matter how long we've walked with God - how much we love and know God's word - Satan has studied us. He knows how to take us down, when to take us down and what or who to use to take us down. When? When he can do the most damage to our name, career, reputation and legacy. From the pulpit to city halls to the Halls of Congress. If we have influence, standing, a good name, reputation, or anything good about us that will bring glory to God, we are a target. And once in his sight, he rarely misses. This episode breaks down Satan's plan. A rare exposition on how he works to bring us down and why it works. This is how to beat Satan and his demons at their own game. We all are targets. And the higher we rise, the bigger the target we become!

Learn from David how to succeed when you work for an envious and insecure boss.
