​It’s a well, well, well scenario in Louisiana……the bucket is in the well and the rope is broke situation in Louisiana with the upcoming Amendment TWO which has been so carefully crafted by the Republican Lawmakers who have a Super-majority in the Louisiana Legislature 2024/2025 style. The Governor went all in to make sure that every jot and tittle in the bill creating Amendment TWO met his specific approval.
How Poison is the Poison Pill Amendment TWO? Very toxic enough to send shivers through the Christian Community in Louisiana when they realized that the Legislature either unknowing or on purpose had taken by Legislative action non-profit entities protection out of the Constitution and left the fate of non-profit asset owning entities to the MERCEY of the greedy-gut Louisiana Legislature.  Where was the so-called staunch Republican conservative Governor when all this was coming down.
No, he was not missing in action or hiding out, he was making sure that every jot and tittle that went into Amendment TWO was to his liking. What was he thinking? WDC in 2028 as the number two man on a nationwide Republican ticket might be in his thinking. Whatever might be his thought process, his thinking has resulted in a very toxic Amendment TWO aimed at making churches and non-profit religious groups vulnerable to the whims of a tax and spend greedy gut duly elected public officials.
Certainly, people like Pastor Tony Spell, Attorney Jeff Wittenbrink, Newspaper Publisher and 28-year veteran of the Louisiana Legislature and member of the last Louisiana Constitutional Convention, Woody Jenkins, and Attorney Bill Moast have a good understanding of the repercussions of Amendment TWO. They, among many others, are vehemently opposed to the Poison Pill Amendment TWO. So should all churches, religious groups, and affiliated non-profit groups be very opposed to the Governor’s Amendment TWO and Christian themed newspapers such as INSPIRE LOUISIANA AMERICA.
Therefore, INSPIRE LOUISIANA AMERICA takes its stand in the forward line of Christian troops in extremely opposing the passage by Louisiana voters on Saturday, March 29, 2025 o amendment TWO.

    There is one candidate in the 2023 Governor’s race that really stands out, and that candidate is HUNTER LUNDY. Hunter has many attributes besides his strong Christian faith that will make him the best Governor that Louisiana has had in decades. His work ethic is second to none. Approximately 18 months ago, Hunter made the decision to run for governor.
    He rolled up his sleeves and went to work. Hunter not only went to work to on becoming our next Governor, he committed more than six figures of his own money to his campaign effort. Hunter first wrapped an RV Motor Home with great big banners reading: HUNTER LUNDY FOR GOVERNOR. Then alternating using his motor home and his trusty Jeep Waggoner SUV, Hunter and his trusted aides, including his longtime friend Kendall Theunissen, hit the roads of Louisiana. Hunter and his staff visited every town and parish in Louisiana. He spoke to every group of citizens and elected officials available during his 18-month long campaign for Governor.    
    Hunter first began placing small yard type signs in strategic locations as he toured the state. As his following grew, they too put up yard signs and some put together “meet and greet” events for Hunter.  Hunter attended almost every political forum scheduled during the campaign around the state. Not only did he attend the political and citizen type meetings but he also attended Church services wherever his campaign carried him.
An exact count of the church services attended was not kept but Hunter attended upwards of 60 church services and Bible Studies during his 18-month campaign to be the next governor of Louisiana. Hunter also led a Bible Study at a restaurant in Central (EBR Parish) one Tuesday night back in July. With an admirable work ethic that usually began with a 5 AM wake call, Hunter has demonstrated in the last 550 days of campaigning that when he says; “I want to be your Governor,” he is committed to being a highly effective Governor.
Hunter then had his campaign staff to develop a series of radio ads which ran for three months on 82 radio stations across Louisiana. Next up on his campaign strategy was the development of an outstanding focus issue TV commercials by his trusted media manager, George Kennedy. On a recent Saturday afternoon, a small airplane began circling overhead of LSU Tiger stadium pulling a sign up in the skies that read: HUNTER LUNDY FOR GOVERNOR.”
After officially qualifying for Governor back in August, Hunter continued his workman like approach to becoming the next governor of Louisiana by studying all the issues affecting the citizens of Louisiana that could become topics in the scheduled TV debates. Not once has Hunter ducked addressing an issue in the campaign nor even considered missing a campaign forum or debate.
It is obvious that Hunter, even after a year and a half on the campaign trail has not lost his enthusiasm or desire to be the next Governor of Louisiana. In considering the attributes of Hunter Lundy, one does not have to say: “Hunter is friendly to Christians,” or “Hunter will probably have Christians in his administration,” because Hunter is not only a Christian but also a BELIEVER in the Glory of Jesus Christ. His compassion and faith is obvious in all he is doing on the campaign trail for Governor.
The concept of Christians and or Believers being involved in government and the election process is nothing new here in the United States of America. In fact, most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and the majority of the soldiers in the that war that gave us our independence were BELIEVERS including the Commander in Chief, General George Washington.
What a joy and feeling of confidence it will be for most Louisianans to have a Christian Believer and a man of compassion and courage sitting in the Governor’s chair in Baton Rouge, La. So it is with great honor and sincerity that our little Christian newspaper, INSPIRE LOUISIANA, enthusiastically endorses HUNTER LUNDY for Governor of Louisiana in the October 14, 2023 election.

​At a recent Forum hosted by the West Baton Rouge Chamber, Hunter Lundy was the first speaker on the morning agenda. First speaker on any agenda is a tough place to be but Hunter Lundy strode confidently to podium and spoke these words: “I am first and foremost a Christian. I will govern not rule as your Governor. I will be the very best Governor the State of Louisiana has ever had.”
    The assembled audience at the Forum suddenly became pin drop quiet. Hunter Lundy had their attention including all the announced candidates for Governor except State Treasurer John Schroder who had a more important appointment. Lundy continued: “Crime, poverty, and education are linked. We fix crime and we fix poverty by fixing education. Our teachers and local school administrators are so worried about their bosses at the State Department of Education that we don’t get our children out of the classrooms and onto the playground.”
    Hunter Lundy from Lake Charles, unlike other 2023 candidates for Governor of Louisiana has a track record as a businessman of running regular payrolls for more than fifty people employed by his Law Firm in Lake Charles that operated in four states. Hunter Lundy is also a developer and is currently developing a Youth Camp in Missouri.  Hunter grew up the son of a stevedore in the Port of Lake Charles.  One of Hunter’s sons is now a Ship Captain. His other son is a Fire Captain with the City of Lake Charles.
    Hunter’s dad, through hard work became the one of the owners of a  Stevedore Company in the Port of Lake Charles. His mother was a teacher and he has a daughter in education and now teaches at the community college in his home town. Hunter began working at the Port of Lake Charles at an early age and was able to afford a College education. He enrolled first at McNeese but transferred to Millsap College in Jackson, Mississippi where he played offensive guard on a championship team in 1975.
    Hunter also received The Scholar Leader-Athlete Award from the Mississippi Chapter of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame while at Millsap College.  Hunter graduated from nearby Mississippi College School of Law where he was Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review. After graduating from Law School, Hunter Clerked for two years for a Federal Judge.    
Hunter Lundy retired from his law practice in 2021. At the urging of a number of his friends and with the stamp of approval from his 91-year-old mother, made the momentous decision to run for Governor. He has been campaigning all over Louisiana for the last 18 months attending forum after forum, City Council and Police Jury meetings by the dozen and above all attending church services in more than 50 churches around the state. Hunter actually taught a lesson on Spiritual Warfare at the Me’Pa’s Diner Bible Study one recent Tuesday evening in Central.
    Improvement through education is a key component of why Hunter is running for governor. He notes: “Evidence says that children do better when you let them be children and give them time to learn through activity. They need PE, recess, and extracurricular activities to learn teamwork and good citizenship. Forcing teachers to “teach to the test” has failed our children. Real learning opportunities in the classroom and on the playgrounds and athletic fields are lost because people decided that measuring was more important than learning.”
    The first time I met Hunter Lundy, he told me point blank: “You give me one minute and I’ll shake hands and tell you ‘God bless you.’ Give me three minutes and I will pray with you and but give me ten minutes and I’ll preach Jesus Christ to you.”
    Hunter feels strongly that our natural resources such as our waterways, our forest industry, and agriculture have kept us going during the Pandemic and economic downtown. “These are the industries that have great potential for economic enhancement along with our tourist industry. Louisiana with its historical locations and our cultural should be “One Giant Tourist Attraction.” I would venture to say we need at least two more state parks, one in North Louisiana and one in South Louisiana.”
     “We know that early childhood education reduces a child’s chance of future incarceration by 20%,” Hunter continues on his campaign flyer. “If we can cut crime 20% just by teaching children to read and be good citizens when they are little, we have to do it. Let our teachers teach. Let our children learn. Build character and build community. It’s the difference between them growing up to be auto mechanics or car thieves.”
    Hunter is the veteran of many court battles representing rank and file people such as in the lawsuit against the makers of the “Round-up” product that produced severe cases of cancer. He was also involved in the BP Oil Spill on the side of the victims. Hunter is a moderate on the political spectrum always putting the people first and foremost. He is not beholden to either national or state political party nor any special interest PAC money group.
    Hunter has raised a lot of money but has invested a considerable amount of his own money in his 2023 campaign to become the next Governor of Louisiana. In recent years, some candidate for high office have hinted at being Christian while other candidates have hinted that they are friendly to the Christian way of Life and others have tried to maintain a facade toward Christianity. However, Hunter Lundy from Lake Charles has been a “sold-out Believer in the Lord Jesus Christ” for many years.
    His demeanor and speech define him as a “Voice of Reason and Courage” in the rough and tumble politics of greed and corruption in Louisiana.

As a resident of Baton Rouge since birth, I have very fond memories of my childhood and beyond, growing up in the southern small town atmosphere of Louisiana’s capital city. I am one of a shrinking number of native citizens of this town that remembers “the good old days” when we could walk the streets “downtown” or the suburbs without fear of danger or harm. In the late 50’s our family moved into a brand new home built especially for us in the new subdivision of Broadmoor at the crossroads of Airline highway and Florida Street connected by the traffic circle, similar to our current “roundabouts”.

The new neighborhood was in the infancy stage of development and overflowing with an abundance of wooded land to roam and explore.  It wasn’t until my late teen years that the reality of violence exploded into my life. I was on my way back to Southeastern Louisiana College in Hammond in my freshman year (the college didn’t achieve university status until 1970), just a couple of weeks before Christmas when I heard a bulletin on station WLCS on my car radio. In those days I held a part-time job with Pak-A-Sak convenience stores (21 locations at that time) and had just visited with J.C. Boden, the manager of the store on Greenwell Springs Road in Baton Rouge. The radio announcement blared out the news of an armed robbery at the store I was at minutes before and that the manager of the store had been shot. I immediately turned around and headed back to the store and when I arrived, I witnessed the traumatic scene of my friend’s lifeless body lying on the curb of the parking lot. The incident was the first convenience store murder in the city of Baton Rouge. So went my first real life experience of the violence which is now running rampant in our city.
 
Now, as we are rapidly approaching award-winning status on the national murder-rate charts, where do we go from here? I say we are at the “but God” stage of the dreadfully unsuccessful attempts of our leaders to curtail our frightening rise to number one status. As a born again Christian, I have learned the hard way, to seek the wisdom of my Father in heaven when I face hard times in my life. Jesus Himself said that He consulted His Father before He made any major decisions. Brothers and sisters….we are there. This crisis cannot be defeated without God’s intervention. 2nd Chronicles 7:14 says that the Lord appeared to Solomon and said to him “If my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Our leaders and our citizens must humble ourselves and admit that we can’t do this without God. Proverbs 16:18 declares “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” My friends, our leaders are not going to find the answer until they admit that, just as the leaders that founded our country did, by seeking the help of God. Instead of seeking the help of so-called “experts” out of state, we have access to the king of experts Jesus Christ! WWJD! What would Jesus do? He would honor His Father’s promise. He would gather ALL Christians together and do what 2nd Chronicles says and God will hear our prayers.
 
If all Christian church members would swallow denominational pride and come together as “His” people which are called by “His” name and pray, God will answer our prayers and heal our land. Governor, Mayor, Police Chief, Senators, members of Congress and so on….let’s get on our knees and prove ourselves as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and allow Him to do what He does best. Miraculously stop the bleeding before all of the lifeblood drains out of our state. As the murder rate climbs, so do the people’s senseless fascination with Mardi Gras, drunken tailgate soirees, laissez le bon temps rouler, gambling casinos, sports betting, etc. No one seems to take the reality seriously. It is not going to away! Jesus Christ is the answer Christians!

- Don Fontenot
    

Where else can we be but ON OUR KNEES LORD in times like these in the Baton Rouge Metro area? An old fashion Christian Hymnal reads like this: “Where can we go but to the Lord?” Another old song from the 1950’s with great prophetic words comes to mind: “No matter how hard I struggle and strive, I can’t get out of this life alive.” We will examine later the meanings of each of these song titles plus the implications of On Our Knees Lord in this discourse but first for some statistics.

Baton Rouge has one of the highest per capital murder rate in our  nation of lawlessness and violence. It is a misnomer to even use the words LAW and ORDER to describe any part of the violence that is sweeping our area. It is physically dangerous for anyone, even law enforcement people to live in the environment of violence that is so pronounced in our midst. We are only a breath away from death if we leave our houses and filled with apprehension in our locked, clocked, camered, and guarded homes.

So, where do we go from here? Pour more money into a corroded bloated bureaucracy that claims to represent the Law Enforcement and Justice Systems? Nor has the practice of funding non-profit cheesy organizations of friends of the powers-that-are shown any significant results of lowering crime. By funding every so-called “self-help-not-for-profit- group” that has wormed their way close to the throne of power, we have only increased crime by the way of “graft and greed” with many “barons of power” building their own little fiefdom of illegal activity.

It sounds like from all evidence available that it is high time to dust-off that old Book that has been so casually referred to as the: Golden Rule Book, or Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. Or as God’s opponent’s refer to it, the Book of Myths and Fables.

However, there are some who still refer correctly although in ever diminishing circles correctly as the HOLY SCRIPTURES. Let us take a look at what that grand-old book, the BIBLE has to tell us:

​“The Word of God is alive and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to dividing asunder the soul and the spirit, the joints and the marrow and is a critic of thoughts and intents of the heart.”
           Hebrews 4:12

“He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully persuaded that, what God has promised, He will be able to perform.”
          Romans 4:20-21

“If my people who are called by name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive them of their sin and heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers made in this place.”
          2 Chronicles Chapter 7 – Verses 14-15

“But if you turn aside and forsake my statues and my commandments that I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will destroy your land.”
          2 Chronicles Chapter 7 – Verse 19

“Oh give thanks to the Lord for he is good, for His steadfast love endures forever.  Let those who fear the Lord say, “His steadfast love endures forever.
          Psalm 118 Verses 1 & 4

“Taking Jesus at His Word”
  John 4 Verses 48 – 50

Verse 48: So Jesus said to him,“Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.”
Verse 49: The official said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Verse 50: Jesus said to him, “Go, your son will live.”

The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way. (and his son lived and it was determined that at the time Jesus spoke those words of joy to the boy’s father that the son began a miraculous recovery.)

Let us turn our attention back to the first phrase mentioned above, where should we be but On Our Knees Lord? Where else should we be but on our knees before the Lord at this point in time? Have we not tried everything else that human power, prestige, and money can buy and it has proven futile year after year? The first hymn mentioned above is much like the first question; “Where Can We Go But To The Lord?,” We sure can’t go to the local government as they are fresh-out of any feasible ideas that tax money can provide. What about the State and Federales?       

Well, the “state” which is made up of mostly elected “bureaucrats” who seem incapable for the most part of thinking “outside the box” their box hasn’t provided any signs of relief from soaring crime rates.  And going to the Federales to fix the local lawlessness problem is like the “pot asking the kettle” for instructions of how to boil water.

And the last song mentioned above, “No Matter How Much I Struggle and Strive, I Can’t Get Out of This World Alive;” pretty much answers its own question. It begs the question of a “Higher Power.” If it was humanly possible, I’m sure that somewhere along the line of the many brilliant people who have populated this globe called earth throughout human history, one or more persons would have figured out how to get out of this world alive and have at least a patent pending on the design. Right? Of Course!

So, why not employ a “Super-Natural Power” as described in the Holy Scriptures? No other book, written document or fable explains how the “Super-Natural Power” works better than the “Holy Scriptures.” It's so simple: Believe, Receive and Ask in faith and it shall be granted. The Holy Scriptures as quoted early in this article are very clear of the action required:
 
“If my people who are called by name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive them of their sin and heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers made in this place.”
          2 Chronicles 7:14

What is so difficult about trying something that is written in Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, English and at least another two hundred languages? I don’t see instructions in this verse at all difficult to understand. Well, let me qualify that a smidgen; some people may have a problem with that “humble-pie” phrase of this verse. But the reward would be great for just obedience sake. To achieve what this verse instructs might be challenging but take a look at the following plan of action:

A. Food gift-boxes
An acknowledgment and appreciative salute to our uniformed Law Enforcement personnel and first Respondents with an on-going expression of “thanks” by providing Law Enforcement personal in the BR Metro Area with food gift-boxes consisting of pre-packaged processed deli-food and baked goods and some specially prepared foods by Church and Ministry groups. This Plan of Action (POA) could include weekly or bi-weekly “special” on-site cooking events featuring such items as Jambalaya, Pastalaya, Gumbos, and burgers and dogs.  Currently, one Church group in the Central Area supplies the local Law Enforcement (CPD and EBRSO) with “snack-sacks” on a weekly basis.

B. Weekly Bible Distribution and Discussion Sessions
We all live daily on the Edge of Eternity; however, since Satan is so super active these days, our law enforcement personnel live on the sharp edge never knowing when Satan will attack them through one of his Demons from Hell. Therefore, it would seem the Christian “thing” to do to add a little shield of protection to our law enforcement protective kit by providing them ready access to the most powerful shield ever known to mankind, a Christian Bible.

We think that Weekly Bible Distribution and Discussion Sessions per shift of law enforcement officers at the precinct/district level would be a step in the right direction for added protection. Christian historical literature recounts numerous instances whereby the Bible acted as a shield; stopping a bullet, turning a blade, adding courage at the right moment and enabling a kind word be spoken to tamp down a volatile scenario.      

Bibles, perhaps pocket size would be provided to all Law Enforcement Personnel who would like to have added protection when on the Sharp Edge of Eternity. The Distribution/Discussion Sessions would take place in a window of time 20 minutes prior to the start of each shift. An open discussion of the grueling duties of law enforcement in the particular precinct/district level activity could result in the Faith Based Community of each area being able to interact with people in various forms of need.  

C. An initial 90-Day Prayer-time Fly-Over of EBR Parish
The 90-Day Prayer-Time “Fly-Overs” of EBR Parish would be conducted in small private planes with a two-person Pastor Prayer Team that would be praying for God’s mercy on our area to stem the violence the duration of the flight. These flights which would encompass a fly-over of all of EBR Parish each day would continue for 90 consecutive days weather permitting.

D. Active Christian Prison Ministry
Prison Ministries in general, whether local, statewide, national or international are world-wide Ministries in scope that have achieved great success in changing the direction of offenders’ lives and reducing recidivism. Offenders in Angola Prison, La Women’s Prison and Dixon Correctional Institution in our area have greatly benefited from the prison Ministry Programs. The success rate of the New Orleans Seminary Ministry is unparalleled in producing the desired results with offenders. An active ongoing Prison Ministry in the EBR Parish Prison would be designed to accommodate the short term sentences or jail time of the offenders.

E.  The STOP THE VIOLENCE PRAYER BLANKET (STVPB)
The Prayer Blanket would work much like a “Prayer-Chain” used in Kairos Prison Ministries. Each Prayer-Blanket would consist of 12-five minutes increments per hour and for a total of 288-5 minute increments per a daily 24/7 time frame.  It is anticipated that many of the Prayer-Blanket Prayer Warriors would take multiple time slots. Each individual participating in the STVPB would pray fervently on their knees for five minutes to God the Father through His precious Son, Jesus Christ, as our intercessor that God would intervene in the Baton Rouge area with His awesome grace gifts and dramatically reduce the violence.   

F. The Partial Amnesty Redemption Legislation (PARL)
The Partial Amnesty Redemption Legislation (PARL) would be developed with specific checks and balances as well as goals and achievements by the offenders to receive the benefits of the PARL. Two of the largest areas of quicksand in Prison Reform are Probation and Parole. The recorded criminal record that follows the Offender after release from actual prison confinement greatly hampers the released offender from gainful employment, and educational opportunities as well as financial well-being.

A great majority of offenders in prison and on parole or probation would desperately like to have a “Re-Set Button” for their lives. This writer can after more than fifteen years involvement in Prison Ministry envision the PARL program being highly successful especially with the younger offenders and middle-aged prisoners who have spent years in confinement. The economic value of the PARL program to the economy of Louisiana and to the annual State Budget would be absolutely overwhelmingly positive.
​
Under a strict set of guidelines and checks and balances, a qualified offender would accept a certain lower sentence for his/her offense by accepting responsibility for their offenses and becoming a qualified model to re-enter society. First, the offenders taking advantages of the PARL Program would provide an awesome new well trained workforce to businesses in need of specifically trained employees. Secondly, the dramatic reduction in prison population would dramatically reduce state prison expenditures reducing a tax burden for Louisiana Taxpayers.      
G. A Godly SOLUTION:
“Taking Jesus at His Word” is self-explanatory!!!

It is very interesting to report that Inspire Louisiana is back in print, publishing faith-based news and encouraging spiritually edifying articles; albeit we are only publishing online at this time. However, it is our prayer and intent that you will find printed copies of Inspire Louisiana around the Baton Rouge area within the next three months, as you did back in 2015. Our online publishing is in PDF format, so you can download what we post on our InspireLouisiana website for your reading pleasure and encouragement.

We suspect of the “Powers that Be” – local, state and national – that once they discover we are the same core group which in 2015 were evangelizing the Word of God, and promoting the Great Commandment of Christ: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength; and your neighbor as yourself;” they’ll seek to put us out of business again! If that be the case, so be it; however, we believe the power of God is stronger than all that may muster against us.

Back in 2015, when we initially began publishing Inspire Louisiana, our company was a not-for-profit 501-C3 corporation. Such corporations are within the purview of the Internal Revenue Service; and in the year 2016 our “non-profit” status was revoked when it was determined that the better part of our mission was spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and encouraging spiritual renewal.

You will recall, the devastating Flood of August 2016 was a near-death knell for the economy of South Louisiana. Rather than adopting a commercial advertising base for financially supporting the publication of InspireLouisiana, we decided not to solicit advertising from financially-strapped businesses that survived the flood.

Much has transpired since Inspire Louisiana ceased publishing in 2016, and the changes over the past six years have NOT been all good, nor fruitful, for Baton Rouge. Violent crime, and all crimes in general, has skyrocketed – particularly murder. The murder rate in the middle years of the last decade averaged sixty homicides per year. Now the Baton Rouge murder rate has topped 140 in 2021 alone – the highest in the city’ history.

Statistics indicate that upward of five percent of the population of EBR parish, and city of Baton Rouge are what the Chief of Police and other local officials have termed “bad actors” (i.e., criminal miscreants). In raw numbers that equals nearly 20,000 “bad actors” who are assumed to be armed and dangerous. For military-minded Folk, we know that 20,000 people is the size of two Divisions of soldiers. So, we have potentially two Army-size Divisions of “bad-actors” in our area to deal with.

Just considering, for a moment, the violent crime and murder rate in the area, we know there is a humongous dis-connect between what is happening on the streets and what SHOULD BE occurring based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. And it is worth noting that Baton Rouge is a city where there is an established church congregation or house of religious devotion on practically every street corner! It begs the question: Just what is being taught and preached, what role models and exemplary behavior patterns are being set forth in many of these churches?

Our core group made little to no deliberate nor concerted first effort to relaunch InspireLouisiana. Various critical and even unexpected factors simply assembled into place and presented themselves in short order. It is as though we were suddenly offered the prime opportunity to start a Christian Faith-based publication. So we stood tall and said: “Here we are, Lord; send us to the front lines.”

So by the Grace and Mercy of God, we at Inspire Louisiana stand ready to tackle and accomplish that which we are led to do by our great God: to help reclaim Baton Rouge and surrounding area from the clutches of His demonic Adversaries.
