1:51 Dallas senior executive pastor Ben Lovorn shared their experience with the IRS during a controversial church tax inquiry in 20
2:03 21, which was initiated under the regime of former president Joe Biden. Robert Jeffress's statement to the commission, including comments which he
2:15 initially shared with his congregation on Sunday, in which he recounted how the atheist organization, Freedom From Religion Foundation, had filed a complaint with the IRS
2:26 after then vice president Mike Pence and then secretary of HUD, doctor Ben Carson, had come to
2:37 First Baptist Dallas and had shared their faith testimonies of how they came to know Jesus Christ as savior. They visited the church as many democrats
2:49 visit democrat churches. These Republicans visited a conservative church in June of 20 20, and they spoke to the congregation. Well, that upset the atheists.
3:02 So pastor Jeffress told the panel what happened next. He said, quote, it's interesting that we did not hear anything from the IRS for 11 months. And 4 months after Joe
3:14 Biden became president, it was on May sixth of 20 21 that the IRS informed our church that they were initiating an inquiry into the tax exempt status of our
3:26 church because we held a patriotic service, end quote. Noting that First Baptist Dallas had never had any issue with the IRS prior
3:38 to Joe Biden being elected, Jeffress said he has a history now of encouraging pastors to follow IRS regulations. In fact, he does not and encourages
3:49 others not to endorse any candidates from the pulpit. And in his testimony, pastor Jeffress pointed out that back in November of 20 20, the same day he
4:01 was talking to his church about the presidential race, Joe Biden himself was campaigning at a church and spoke at the Sharon Baptist Church in Philadelphia.
4:15 Jeffers pointed out that the former president Biden and that pastor had openly encouraged members to vote for Biden while both men were standing in front of the campaign banner at the front of
4:27 that church in Philadelphia. So the Democrats can get away with it, but the Republicans can't when they don't even endorse candidates. Pastor Jeffress added the following, quote, when we pointed out the
4:39 contrast to the IRS between our non endorsement policy and this church's flagrant disregard for the Johnson amendment, the IRS officials conducting the
4:50 examination had no response, end quote. Well, that inquiry lasted more than a year, like an audit of a church. Who does
5:02 that? The IRS eventually acknowledged a year later in 20 20, July 20 22, that the First Baptist Dallas, in fact, did not engage in any improper political
5:14 interventions or violate the US tax code. That's the news. Our thanks to Christian Post for that report. You may be surprised to learn that our ministry underwent
5:26 the same thing. In 20 22, I believe it was, the IRS showed up at our door. I don't have a church, but I have a religious nonprofit,
5:37 25 years old now. Never had a problem. Always did our 9 nineties. Always filed tracked every penny. But when the IRS shows up and does an audit of our organization, as they did,
5:49 he spent 2 years in our offices. Like all of 20 22, 23, he was in our offices, and at his own office looking through
6:01 every 1 of our tax year filings from 20 19 to 20 20, found nothing wrong except 2 things. You didn't properly report the
6:13 mileage on a company car. Okay. No problem. But then the content of your sermon on your television show, we noticed that you prayed for 1 of the
6:24 candidates in Jesus name. Was your prayer to God an implied endorsement of his candidacy? Gave us a slap on the wrist and we passed the audit
6:36 on the condition that we never do that again. Don't pray for candidates. Really? The US government is going to intervene in my prayers to God? This would be the third
6:48 time in my lifetime that I would end up in court over the content of my prayers to God. The Bible says this in Matthew 22, he said to them, render therefore
7:00 unto Caesar the things that are Caesar and to God the things that are God's. We should pay our taxes, but if the money belongs to God, we should not give that to the government. We should give that to
7:12 God's work. Nonprofits are sacred and so are churches. IRS, stay out of our preaching and out of our pulpits. Let's take a short break when we come back. Colonel Glenn Holloway has
7:24 written an important book about farming God's way.
7:28 Giving you a megaphone in Washington, D. C. Doctor. Chapps will be right back.
7:35 I'm Doctor. Chapps. You know, Jesus taught the parable about sowing the seed and you don't want it wasted. You want it to grow with 30, 60, a hundredfold for the kingdom of Jesus Christ. I'll tell
7:47 you 3 mission areas that we're doing here at Pray in Jesus' Name. I think our charity does more with less than any other charity I know. We are fertile seed. For
7:59 example, number 1, we pray in millions of television homes every day or every weekend on 8 networks. We have 2500000000.0 home TV impressions every
8:11 month. The second area, we feed orphans and children in some of the poorest slums overseas. We're building a new vocational school. We're digging wells, and we're serving the poor when you give to pray
8:23 in Jesus' name. Number 3, we defend religious freedom, especially for our troops and our chaplains. We've now helped send 5000000 petitions to Congress. We've helped change bad laws or policies
8:34 in 13 states and 4 times in federal law. You know my story as a former Navy chaplain standing up for the right to pray in Jesus' name and defending religious freedom. Would you donate today? In
8:46 fact, we want you to become a monthly pledge sponsor When you visit pray in Jesus name dot org, on the right side, click the monthly pledge sponsor button at pray in Jesus name dot org. Your
8:58 monthly gift will help change the world in Jesus name.
9:05 Do you need a physical or spiritual healing? Are you being tested or tried? When Jesus needed to pray, he went to the Garden of Gethsemane. Do you need to really connect with God? If you're visiting
9:17 Colorado Springs, come see the Gateway Prayer Garden just south of the city along Interstate 25. Walk our prayer trails among the trees by the beautiful Fountain Creek. Stand to the foot of our large
9:29 cross and connect with Jesus. Enter our life size replica of the empty tomb and spend time reading key Bible verses etched in stone along our ground cross as big as a football field.
9:40 Join our worship gatherings and plan to attend our annual Easter sunrise worship service. We're located off I-twenty 5 exit 1 32 a at 8035 Bandley Road, just north of the
9:52 KOA campground. Experience Jesus at gatewayprayergarden dot org. That's gatewayprayergarden dot o org.
10:06 Exposing the fruitless deeds of darkness. Here's Doctor.
10:12 Welcome back, I'm Doctor. Chapps, joined now by Glenn Holloway, who is a retired colonel and author of this book, Farming God's Way, Be the Stewards We Should Be.
10:23 Colonel Holloway, welcome to the program. How are you, sir?
10:26 Oh, well, thank you for having me. It's a great opportunity.
10:28 So describe your military service and you did some civilian service after that, but now you're like all into farming.
10:36 Yeah, I started off actually back the 70s as an enlisted Marine during the Vietnam era, And then I went back in the eighties as a through officer candidate school at Fort Benning and got commissioned as an
10:48 officer and went through the as a cavalry officer armor and stationed in Europe and completed that as the executive officer of Allied Command Europe under NATO with Wesley Clark. And then my last
11:00 civilian job was I took that knowledge and went forward and was working at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, running the the director's action group, and we were in charge of monitoring and developing weapons of mass
11:10 destruction.
11:12 Wow. Okay. So, with that great resume, you retired to go into farming. Why the switch?
11:20 Well, when I was doing all that, 1 of my jobs just before that 1 was, I was chief of infrastructure, critical infrastructure for America, and I realized that food was 1 of our critical infrastructures,
11:32 that through history, if you look at what happened with Russia and the Ukraine, finding out it's kind of happening now again, they actually took control of the food and 18000000 people died. So food is a critical
11:43 infrastructure. And if you want to take over a country or take control of a population, you control food.
11:50 Can you give us a history of food production briefly? In America, it's evolved in 3 different stages.
11:56 Yes. Well, start off, according to the title of the book, They're Farming God's Way. God created the earth, gave us a template on how we're supposed to grow our food, which was
12:07 regenerative, word that you're hearing now, which means that every generation should have pretty much the same type of farming that regenerates the earth for the next generation. Well, back in the 19 right after World
12:19 War II in the 1940s, there was this issue of, well, we need to feed the world. So how do we do that? We've got all these chemicals leftover. So you really start seeing the advent of pesticides and
12:30 herbicides and chemicals being put on the ground, which increased production with the focus of trying to feed more people. Well, they found out that didn't work real well. And so then in the late
12:42 70s, we switched into what we can now call and are working under is called industrial agriculture, because you have the industrial revolution and all these new machineries and modify seeds, and those types of things
12:54 to be more productive. And so that then took over agriculture. And it sounds really good, but the problem is that to do that, back in the 70s,
13:06 an economist, an ag economist by the name of John Eichert out of Missouri said, Well, if you're gonna work in this production of food, bigger is better, economies of scale. So then we had bigger combines and we had
13:17 bigger farms, and all of a sudden the small farm went away, and you had communities start to shrivel up, because as you saw, and have seen throughout the world, when the local community
13:29 loses its ability to have farms, the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, and the whole thing that makes it a community, the workers go to the big cities and farming was done on a corporate So
13:39 when corporations began to take over American agriculture, the small farms were sold. They lost their land to the giant farms, like tens of thousands of acres and
13:51 giant machinery and everything's automated. And then they're bringing in the additives, like not just the herbicides to get rid of the weeds, my grandfather did that, but
14:03 also the genetic modification to go into the seeds to increase crops and production yield.
14:10 Correct, yeah. And over the years you've seen, I mean, about 10 years ago, there was a major lawsuit going on against Monsanto, cause Monsanto then patented those genetically engineered, in this case it was corn,
14:22 and they would literally come through, and this happened in Canada, and test your field, and could verify that that was a modified plant using their genetics, and then they would shoot the farmer
14:34 and take the farm away from them.
14:36 Oh my gosh. So, so big pharma, or not big, big agriculture, then there's probably 3 or 4 companies that control most of the acreage now, right?
14:46 Correct. You've got Bayer, Monsanto, which was part of Bayer now. So yeah, they're all, the push right now is for corporations to take over the farms because of that still
14:57 mental thought that it is more efficient, and then you can determine how they're gonna farm and what it is they're gonna farm.
15:04 And small town America has like disappeared because, as you said, because there aren't small farms, there's no community when you go out to these small towns, they don't have the butcher
15:16 shops, they don't have the baker and the candlestick maker, as you said. And all the men had to move to the cities to get jobs.
15:24 Correct. Yeah. They go I mean, that was like when the industrial revolution started, they all went to work for Ford and other places where they could put them on the production line. And literally our school system,
15:33 although we're not gonna go down that road today, our school system was aimed at developing people who could work in a factory, not go out on the farm and be an independent worker.
15:41 Okay, but you have a solution. The third stage of American farming is this regenerative farming, getting back to the old way things were done and making small time
15:53 farming profitable again. How do we begin that road?
15:57 How do that? Well, this last week was a really step that most people probably missed, and that was that Secretary of Agriculture Rollins and the HHS Secretary,
16:09 Bobby Kennedy, married up the fact that they now recognize and are willing to speak about it that you are what you eat. If you want to get healthy in America, you've got to have food that's going to make you healthy. So
16:20 they have allocated 700000000 dollars which is really a drop in the bucket, but the fact that they have acknowledged that they need to change the farming and start doing regenerative farming to regenerate people's
16:31 health, which will also then regenerate jobs and regenerate the soil, so that we now have soil and plants and things that we eat that will not be degrading our health, but actually making us healthy again.
16:42 So soil rotations, crop rotations, maybe sometimes you do corn, but then you do soybeans, because that puts the vitamins back in the soil for the next generation of crops.
16:54 This is a whole, there's a whole science to this, and it's explained in Farming God's Way, The Stewards We Should Be.
17:01 Correct.
17:03 By Glenn Holloway. Let's take a short break, and he'll be right back.
17:06 This is PIJN News, defending your religious freedom. Doctor Chaps will be right back.
17:14 I'm doctor Chaps. We want you to sign a petition today to stand with Israel. They are under such attack with Arabs and Muslims killing Jews, but here is the Bible territory that God promised to the
17:26 Israeli and Jewish people. Even in 19 93 in the Oslo Accords, Yasser Arafat agreed. These are the current borders of Israel and it's their land. Let's sign that petition. Pray in
17:38 Jesus name dot org. Again, pray in Jesus name dot org. Sign it today. We're here in Israel in literally the scene of all of the holy sites, like the Via
17:49 Dolorosa, where Jesus carried his cross, the garden tomb where he was raised from the dead, the sea of Galilee, where he taught the disciples. And I prayed, Lord, how can I bring this inspiring environment into your
18:00 living room? And what we produced is a 4 DVD disc set with the entire gospel of Matthew. I teach every verse in all 28 chapters of Matthew in
18:12 short 12 minute So you can understand the exact words that Jesus taught from the exact location where Jesus lived. Pick up the phone right now and call us at 8 66 Obey God.
18:24 Again, that's 8 66 OBEYGOD. For a suggested donation of just 50 dollars we'll give you all 4 discs, the entire gospel of Matthew, or you can write to us at the address on your screen or
18:36 visit our website, prayinjesusname dot org. You're gonna love this Bible teaching. Pick up the phone and call us today.
18:45 He is the intersection of church and state. Here is doctor Chapps.
18:51 Welcome back. I'm doctor Chapps. Joined again by colonel Glenn Holloway, who has written an important book, Farming God's Way, The Stewards We Should Be.
19:02 What can people learn in this book? How do you get back to regenerative farming, which is stage 3 in the future?
19:10 Okay. This book here is some people might even call it a history of farming book. It starts off with the creation, and now it goes all the way through to where we're at. It's followed by a book called Beyond the Plow. So
19:21 if we're gonna change, you have to have some way and some hope on how you're gonna do that. Beyond the Plow lays out how do you develop markets, how do you move away from this big industrial farming back into small
19:32 farms? And you literally have to generate small farms throughout America, actually throughout the world, that are going to be down at the local community level, so those communities are going to thrive again, which
19:43 means you're going to have to change some policies too. Right now, you've got 4 packers to control all the packing of meat products and things in America, and then they're bringing in cattle and those types of things out
19:54 of Argentina and Ecuador. Well, Thomas Massey out of Kentucky had a bill that was called Prime Act. He recognized that to regenerate
20:06 small farms, you've got to have them have the ability to process and market everything down at the local level. So you've got to have states to be able to take over and have small packing plants and processing plants and
20:16 all that back down at the communities. And that's where we go from here. We make it profitable through the second book called Beyond the Plow. And then you make it profitable
20:28 back down at the small community, and then you can regenerate those small farms again and get back to the agrarian life that we had before, which was healthy.
20:38 So assuming for for a second that Congressman Massey's bill has not yet passed, and then there's gonna be like corporate competitive pressure from the big industry that those 4,
20:50 5 companies that own all the farms, they're not gonna wanna sell that farmland back to us, because they're making billions to keep it. And there's a lot of lobbying pressure in Congress against that. What
21:02 can we do in the meantime?
21:03 In the meantime, through books like this, and through webinars, and through shows like yours, you educate the consumer. Because who has the vote? I hate to say it, but your vote with the dollar, your vote with what you
21:15 buy to eat. And if the consumer comes down, just like years ago, when all of a sudden we had the organic move, and everybody's like, oh, well, organic food makes you healthy. Well, that's because everybody was buying
21:26 organic food. So now if you can buy organic food that's coming off of a regenerative farm, and as we move forward, we have a way to monitor nutrient dense food to actually see that the
21:38 food is benefiting your temple, your body, then the consumer votes with his purchases, with his dollar, and corporate will have to respond, which means they'll have to change their farming voice.
21:50 Nutrient dense food, not just organic, that's like last year, But next year it's gonna be regenerative produced and nutrient dense
22:02 food. Where can I find this? Can I get it at my local grocery store?
22:07 They are now coming out and will come out with, of course, this new bill and the money going into it, they'll have labels. And that's how the consumer knows what they're getting. The label says it was, you know, you
22:17 should say, this is organic. You go into any of your stores and you've got organic milk, you've got organic vegetables, you've organic. That was a big buzzword. And then following that, it was, you know, raised by animal
22:28 care unit. So it'll go forward, as we go forward, things will be labeled that it came off of a regenerative farm. And ultimately we should have a product in the future where you can walk
22:40 in with your phone, point it at a, say your vegetables, push a button, and it tells you on a scale where you sit on the nutrient level, and then be able to make your purchase being
22:51 educated on what it is you're eating.
22:54 Yeah. There's a lot of our viewers that are in small towns and maybe their grandparents had a big farm, but now it's been cut in half and cut in half, and they're holding on. Or somebody who lives in the city is
23:06 considering their future calling, right? You came out of the military and went back into farming as a calling from God. Why should people go and do the farming and stick it up?
23:18 Well, because it's 1 of, like I said, you're marrying up farming with the care of your health. And you can't separate the 2. If you eat bad food, you're going to have bad health.
23:28 And your children's health.
23:29 And your children's health, because it will affect you genetically. Yeah. So, yeah. And why people go back into farming? Because then they have, like you said, they have their vote in what they're eating, which is gonna
23:41 dictate their health and also the community's health. So you're giving them an opportunity to literally shape the future and shape the health of America and its people in the future by becoming a farmer and taking away
23:53 from these old farmers who have gone through the other ways of using chemicals and things because they thought it was right. I'm not saying they didn't think they were doing the right thing. Now we know, like what
24:01 happened with glyphosate, and there were suits against glyphosate. They have found out there's a doctor out there by the name of Doctor. Zach Bush, where you can take the bread basket of America, where they have used
24:12 glyphosate as 1 of the herbicides, and overlay it with the cancer map, with a high number of rates of cancer, and they almost identically match. So to fight that, you've got to get down to the
24:24 very root, which is farming and restoring the soil, everything from the soil up, so that we can impact our health.
24:31 Just an observation. I came from 7 generations of farmers in Western New York. They came in 18 32 from Germany. They settled
24:43 as agrarian, like working the land. 6 generations, including my grandfather, they had 150 acre farms. My father
24:55 was the first 1 to go to college, he became an engineer. I was the first 1 to join the military, and now I live in a city, I'm 1 of those city jobs. But our grandparents generation, they lived into
25:07 their nineties, because they were close to the dirt. Right. They ate from the fruit of their own labor and the nutrients in the soil gave them longevity and good health. And I
25:19 told my father, I went back to see him recently, I said, Dad, I gotta go to the gym because I live in the city just to stay in shape. How do you do it? You're still thin. He's now
25:30 86. He said, My farm is my gym.
25:34 Oh, yes.
25:35 And he's out there working. Yeah. And just like his father before him, who lived to age 92, my father is fit because he's working the land. I'm just, so
25:47 I wanted to leave my audience with that thought. Your last thought, and then I want to say a prayer.
25:52 Well, the last thought is that I think I'll hit the last period on the consumer. Literally, we have to get the call for actions is to educate them on where we are now in the
26:04 industrial agricultural revolution, how we're going to stop it, and then give the farmers a way to move forward, because nobody's going to give up a job and walk away from it, if they can't make a living. The quality of
26:15 life is still there, and that's where the new young generations are going to come in and take over those farms, because they're looking for a quality of life. It's not about the money, it's about quality of life, and
26:25 regaining and rebuilding that family structure and the community that results from it.
26:30 Let's say a prayer for those in the agriculture industry. Father in heaven, pray for those who are producing the food that keeps us healthy.
26:43 Father, we pray for your favor, for the restoration, for the regeneration of our food supply to have the best possible nutrients with the fewest possible
26:55 chemicals and side effects. Jesus, that your original plan for our health would thrive through the agriculture industry. We pray this blessing on American farmers and around the world, in Jesus
27:07 name, amen. Our guest has been Glenn Holloway. His book is Farming God's Way, Be the Stewards We Should Be. Glenn Holloway, you can find it everywhere books are sold. Mention your
