Orlando, Florida – In remarks at the opening session here of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) International Christian Media Convention on Monday night, Gov. Ron DeSantis vowed to continue taking on woke agendas, make pro-family decisions and support Americans’ right to practice their faith.
DeSantis, believed to be throwing his hat in the ring (on Wednesday) as a presidential candidate in 2024, spoke through strong applause at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando as he outlined his views on protecting faith and family.
DeSantis began by telling a personal story about the personal importance of a bottle of holy water from the Sea of Galilee as attendees gather for a four-day convention with a theme of celebrating 75 years of Israel’s independence.
"My first job as governor, after getting sworn in on the steps of the Capitol, was to go back to the governor's residence … to get our son Mason baptized," he said.
He and his wife, Casey DeSantis, had been in Israel "many years before that together," he said, "and my wife brought back that fresh water from the Sea of Galilee."
The bottle was later apparently tossed out during house cleaning, he said.
As word got out to people the family knew in Israel about the lost holy water, "within 24 hours there were people in Israel digging into the Sea of Galilee, and they sent me this beautiful glass jar filled with water from the Sea of Galilee," he said.

Toward the close of his remarks, DeSantis said, "Put on the full armor of God … and don’t ever, ever back down."

His actions. The way he ignored Florida officials who reached out to him for years until he wanted to use them.
I understand. But Joey and Nancy have been very public about their defiance of Church teachings.
Oh, my. He is not even believable at this point. Maybe he is trying out Pence Mike Pence.
Because he is a politician.
trying to out Pence, Mike Pence.
RDS has never been a billionaire and the resulting gold diggers.
That is irrelevant. What he has been is a politician & a JAG lawyer.
A lot of Big Business, globalist $ have been spent to manufacture a “Ron” image that will allow GOPe to keep on selling America & Americans for profit, hollowing out & deconstructing our Country. That image is cynically aimed at those starving for pushback against the Left. Those heart sick Americans want to believe and do not look behind the surface, do not kick the tire. They beg to be fooled so they are.
Food for the gullible being served no limit.
Is he sure that isn’t the unholy armor of the GOPe and RNC?
