Special Guest Coach Joe Kennedy! |
Jonathan Saenz, President of Texas Values, discusses Coach Joe Kennedy's journey from being fired, sued, to winning a Supreme Court Case, and then having a movie made about him; "Average Joe: The Unwavering True Story", coming to the big screen, Oct. 11, 2024! "They just want to stamp out God in every facet of the public square."
"They told me I no longer had the right to pray on the 50 yard line by myself...No American should have to choose between their faith and their job. I was going to die on that hill." "Faith, Family, & Freedom. That’s in our blood, that’s what this was all about. God just came through in every way, shape, and form, and made it perfect."
"It's a great time to be alive, to start fighting for our country…these are the things that make us who we are as Americans." “Being American and a person of faith, and in a family, that’s not a spectators sport.You have to be involved … and get in the game!" ~ Coach Joe Kennedy
