A high school in Louisiana was experiencing a disturbing increase in fights and violence. 23 students were arrested in just 3 days.

So a group of dads decided to hang out at the school. They took shifts. All the fights suddenly stopped.

There's a lesson in here. 👑

With the help of fans of The Zach Brinson Show and LA Backroad Chronicles, here’s a little competition! Louisiana’s state flag is rather… bland. 🫤 So, hopefully, we can do this just for a little fun! But what would you redesign the state flag to look like?

Rules:
1. Colors must include the state colors of blue, white, and gold.
2. Redesigned flag cannot use state seals nor any seal of an agency thereof.
3. Any flag design must respect traditional Louisiana culture and heritage while maintaining Louisiana resolve and resilience.

As we approach Easter Sunday and the celebration of the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, it is a moment of triumph in an otherwise bleak and dark situation. While this world is accelerating toward an inevitable destination with Hell, we as Christians are called to be a candle in the darkness. We are called to live a life in which Christ lives through us.

“Get worldly.” That statement is the antithesis of what we are supposed to do as Christians. Jesus tells us in Matthew 16,

“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matt. 16:24b-26; KJV)

The statement, “get worldly,” should by definition make us as Christians, uncomfortable. The world propagates the idea of, “to each their own”, “you are who you are”, and “I’m not perfect, so why even try?” But the problem that is often overlooked is that WE ARE CALLED to take up our cross and follow Jesus.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” - 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)

Do we not still struggle with sin? Absolutely, without question. Isaiah 64:5, “But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.” (NKJV)

But we are promised that if we continue to strive toward heavenly rewards, and to set our mind on things above and not of this world, to hide the Word of God in our hearts that we might not sin against Him.

“Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.” - Psalms 199:11 (NKJV)

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith.’” - Romans 1:16-17 (NIV)

Reject worldliness, embrace Godliness, and though we may fail, learn from your moments of weakness. Pray for God’s wisdom and strength to guide you and comfort you. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God, DAILY. But through faith that we have in Jesus, we can and will do better. The path to the cross that dreadful Friday was a lonely, brutal path… but the cross became a symbol of faith, hope, and love that Sunday morning. 🙏🏼✝️❤️

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” - II Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)

Generational curses stop with you. Addictions stop with you. Habits stop with you. Destructive patterns stop with you. It is so easy to blame others for the actions we take that ultimately lead to consequences we receive, but the emptiness you’re feeling, the hopelessness, and the misery are often times results of the choices we’ve made ourselves. We are all called to change. You can run from it, you can try to hide from it, but ultimately, you’ve got to face your fears and confront the problem.

If you look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that everyone else is the problem, especially when they’re trying to offer a hand of peace, then the problem is not outward but within.

Read it and weep.

I was scrolling through my camera roll, and I found a few pictures I’ve taken of the Bayou State over the years. Our state may not always be the best, but there’s no place like home…

There's a scene in Netflix's new adaptation of All Quiet On The Western Front that absolutely chills me to the bone.

Just a quick update everyone, I understand it has been a while since I’ve uploaded an episode of the podcast, I had some issues with some of my equipment, but I promise I will return to making episodes as soon as I can! There’s been a lot going on, and I guarantee that I haven’t just been sitting on the sidelines. This year, I plan on outlining some real problems and solutions that can improve the world around us, and I find it imperative and of the utmost importance that we understand what is going on behind the scenes… the important thing to remember is that I haven’t gone anywhere! I’m still here chronicling what is going on down these Louisiana Backroads!

I feel like this is more important to remember now than we ever dreamt possible before… 🫥🙏🏼

Jesus knows our heartaches, troubles, and sorrows because He walked where we could crawl, He died so we can live. No matter the situation, no matter the trial, Jesus is there with us, to lead/guide/direct us. He is there for us in our times of need, He will never leave nor forsake us. All we have to do is call upon Him, and He will renew us!

I Corinthians 10:13
