Tarrant County televangelist Gloria Copeland, one of President Donald Trump s faith advisers, wants you to know there is no such thing as flu season. We got a duck season, a deer season, but we don t have a flu season, she said in a Facebook video posted last week that s making headlines. And don t receive it when somebody threatens you with, Everyone s getting the flu! She went on to say: Jesus himself gave us the flu shot. He redeemed us from the curse of flu.

KingdomLife pastor Brandon Burden has been temporarily removed as chairman and six board members of a Frisco-based conservative political action committee have resigned, the first signs of an internal fallout from comments Burden made during a church service.
Burden, the chairman of the Frisco Conservative Coalition, urged congregants Jan. 10 to keep their guns loaded and stock up on food and water before President Joe Biden’s inauguration. At previous services, he encouraged them to “raise an army” and “go to war” to help Donald Trump win the Electoral College vote.

A Frisco pastor said he has become a “target of the cancel culture” and of what he says are nationwide attacks on people of faith after his rhetoric drew national attention and condemnation from community members.
KingdomLife pastor Brandon Burden posted a video statement to the church’s YouTube channel Monday, about two weeks after the Jan. 10 service in which he urged his congregants to keep their guns loaded and stock up on food and water before President Joe Biden’s inauguration and cited “prophetic voices” who said God told them Donald Trump would be president for eight years.
