    Parish President Says Public Housing "Isn't Permanent Housing" — And the Town Wanted His Head

    St. Landry Parish President Jessie Bellard said nine words about public housing—and the town demanded his resignation. Stuart Amidon and David Riley unpack the firestorm on this episode of The Parish Circuit, making the blunt case that government dependence isn't compassion, it's bondage. Marriage penalties, vote-buying, and the freedom worth fighting for. https://theparishcircuit.com/parish-president-says-public-housing-isnt-permanent-housing-and-the-town-wanted-his-head/

    Larry Davis: The Bible on the Ballot

    In this episode of The Parish Circuit, Stuart Amidon sits down with Larry Davis, a candidate for Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District who is throwing out the standard political playbook. Davis isn’t running on focus-grouped platitudes; he’s running on a mandate to bring the Word of God into the halls of Congress. From the necessity of swift, biblical justice for violent predators to his unapologetic stance as an abortion abolitionist, Davis pulls no punches. He breaks down why the "pro-life" label isn't enough, why the Supreme Court overstepped on marriage, and why the deterioration of the American family is a direct result of the nation turning its back on the Gospel. This isn’t just a campaign—it’s a grassroots movement of believers who are tired of being told to keep their faith out of the public square. Davis explains why he’s willing to risk it all for a clean conscience and why he believes a return to biblical foundations is the only way to save the country. If you’re looking for a candidate who speaks with clarity and conviction, you don’t want to miss this conversation.

    Dupuis Guides #01 | Reclaiming the Family: The Call to Return to the Wild

    Modern families are crumbling in a world of air-conditioned safety and digital distractions. We’ve traded genuine adventure for "pretended risk," leaving men soft and households without a mission. But the ruins of our culture won't be rebuilt from a couch; they’ll be rebuilt in the wild. In this inaugural episode of a new series on The Parish Circuit, Pastor Stuart Amidon sits down with veteran outdoorsman Jonathan Dupuis to discuss the vital necessity of the outdoors in family sanctification. From arming eight-year-olds with machetes to taking infants into the desert, they explore how raw environments strip away pretenses and force a family to function as a unit. It’s time to stop playing it safe and start using God’s creation to sharpen your character and reclaim your household. In This Episode: The "Deficit of Danger" in modern childhood. Why discomfort is a faster tool for growth than counseling. How the wilderness transforms "gangsters" back into children. The vision of Dupuis Guides: Equipping the family for mission. Practical tips for getting your family outside—starting today. https://theparishcircuit.com/dupuis-guides-01-reclaiming-the-family-the-call-to-return-to-the-wild/
