Yesterday, my wife, Irene, and I had the privilege of watching the new Bonhoeffer movie, of which my literary agent and entertainment attorney played an important role in bringing to theaters nationwide. It was a profoundly moving experience, one that brought us both to tears. As the credits rolled, we sat quietly, overwhelmed by the courage and sacrifice of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a man who risked everything for God’s truth and the lives of others. Irene was so touched by the film that she wept, and we both found ourselves reflecting on the state of our nation and God’s mercy in giving America a reprieve.
We couldn’t help but wonder: What would have happened if President Trump had not been elected? In that moment, we praised God for His grace and His decision to give our nation a chance to turn back to Him. Bonhoeffer’s life is a powerful reminder of the cost of discipleship, and it’s a message we need to hear now more than ever.
As part of our 77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting a Final Great Awakening campaign, today’s theme—Faith Over Fear: Praying for Courage to Face Every Challenge—is a call to action for each of us to live with the boldness and conviction that Bonhoeffer exemplified. His story resonates deeply with the themes in my books, The Trump Code and Revelation 911, as we seek to inspire believers to rise up in courage and faith during this critical time in history.

Why We Launched 77 Days to Take Back America
I launched 77 Days to Take Back America with Pastor Paul Begley, The Return Co-Founder Rev. Kevin Jessip, Dr. Larry Keefauver, and Dr. Paul McGuire to rally the body of Christ during this pivotal moment in our nation’s history. With the support of our media partner, Charisma Media, one of the most influential Christian media organizations of our time, this campaign is a call to prayer, repentance, and revival—a movement to ignite a Final Great Awakening that can transform our nation.
We believe that God has extended His hand of mercy to America, but the time is short, and the stakes are high. This campaign is about equipping believers to take a stand, just as Bonhoeffer did, and to seek God’s will for our lives and our nation.
Who Was Dietrich Bonhoeffer?
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German pastor, theologian, and author who lived during the rise of the Nazi regime. Born in 1906, Bonhoeffer was a brilliant thinker whose writings, including The Cost of Discipleship and Life Together, have inspired millions.
Bonhoeffer became one of the first voices to speak out against Hitler’s atrocities, founding the Confessing Church to oppose the regime’s attempts to control Christianity. He later joined the German resistance, even participating in a plot to assassinate Hitler—a decision that cost him his life but cemented his legacy as a hero of faith and courage.
Faith Over Fear: What Bonhoeffer Teaches Us
Faith Amidst Persecution
Bonhoeffer refused to compromise his beliefs, even in the face of imprisonment and death. His courage reminds us that standing firm in our faith, even under pressure, is a testament to God’s strength working through us.The Cost of Discipleship
In his book The Cost of Discipleship, Bonhoeffer wrote, “When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die.” His life challenges us to examine what we are willing to sacrifice to follow Christ fully.Courage in Action
Bonhoeffer didn’t just speak about faith; he lived it, taking bold action to stand against evil. His story inspires us to be not just hearers of the Word but doers, unafraid to step into God’s calling, no matter the cost.

In The Trump Code, I explore how prophetic insights, historical patterns, and divine providence intersect with our nation’s future. Similarly, in Revelation 911, Pastor Paul Begley and I delve into how the book of Revelation reveals God’s plan amidst today’s headlines.
Bonhoeffer’s story resonates deeply with the themes of these books: the courage to stand firm in faith, the importance of discernment in perilous times, and the call to action for a greater purpose. His life inspires the kind of boldness and vision we need to navigate the spiritual and cultural battles of our age.

Faith Over Fear: A Prayer for Courage
Today, let us pray for the courage to face every challenge with unwavering faith. As we reflect on Bonhoeffer’s life, may we be inspired to stand boldly for truth, just as he did.
🙏 Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the example of faith and courage we see in Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In these turbulent times, we ask for Your strength to face every challenge without fear. Help us to live as bold witnesses for Your truth, standing firm in faith and advancing Your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Closing Thought
Bonhoeffer once said, “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” Let his words inspire us to be a light in the darkness, to stand boldly for Christ, and to live fearlessly for His glory.
Together, let’s take this journey of faith, courage, and action as we continue through the 77 Days to Take Back America.
Blessings,

Week 3: Boldness and Courage in Leadership (Inspired by Esther) 77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening | Day 20: Faith Over Fear – Praying for Courage to Face Every Challenge
Focus: Praying for courage, strength, and boldness for President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other leaders to stand for what is right.
Scripture:
So we say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? – Hebrews 13:6
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. – 2 Timothy 1:7
Reflection:
On the Day 20 of our “77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening” campaign of prayer, fasting and repentance, Esther approached the king with a heart full of faith, even knowing the risks involved. Her courage wasn’t the absence of fear, but a choice to trust God’s purpose over her own safety. She demonstrated that faith can overcome any fear, especially when we stand in God’s strength and wisdom. Today, we pray for our leaders to have this same courage—to rise above fear and act with boldness, relying on God’s guidance to make decisions that benefit the nation.
As we pray for President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other leaders, let us also reflect on our own lives. May we, too, choose faith over fear, knowing that God is with us in every situation. Trusting in His strength allows us to face even the most daunting challenges with confidence and peace.
A riveting account of current events as foretold in the mysterious Book of Revelation. Are we teetering on the edge of the end of time?

Prayer:
Lord, we thank You for being our ever-present help and strength. Today, we lift up President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and all leaders across America, asking that You fill them with faith and courage. Help them to trust in Your guidance over their own fears, standing boldly in truth and justice.
Grant them a spirit of power, love, and sound mind, so they may act in alignment with Your will, bringing hope and unity to our nation. Help us all to choose faith over fear, standing confidently in Your promises.
In the Mighty name of Jesus, I invoke the standing order of Almighty God to protect my family and our beloved country, America, from every attack, to propel us above every circumstance and crisis, and to prevent any weapon formed against us from prospering, so that we will not fall or fail but will be overcomers, more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. I command angels to surround us, to uphold and guard us in all our ways. Amen.
Wisdom for Awakening:
Choosing faith over fear is a daily act of courage. Today, ask God to strengthen your trust in Him, letting go of any anxieties, and embracing the peace He provides.
Action for Awakening:
Identify one area in your life where fear has held you back. Take a small step of faith in that area, trusting God to guide you. Share this experience with someone to encourage them to choose faith over fear as well.
Blessing:
May the Lord bless you with a fearless heart, anchored in faith and trust. May He grant our leaders courage to stand firmly in their convictions, guided by His love and strength. May we, as a nation, walk in faith, knowing that God’s protection and guidance surround us.
God bless!
