Tampa Bay's Big Plays: Rays Stadium Deal, Mega Cruise Port + Forgiveness That Frees You

This episode takes a deep dive into the issues driving conversation across Florida and beyond, starting with the Florida House’s passage of legislation addressing the wrongful death of an unborn baby and what it could mean for families, courts, and the broader life debate. We also break down the latest polling in Florida’s governor’s race, examining voter sentiment, key trends, and how the numbers could shape the political landscape ahead. On the economic front, we explore a Florida House bill that could begin phasing out property taxes, discussing potential benefits, concerns, and what such a shift might mean for homeowners and local governments. Joining the conversation is guest Daniel Buttafuoco, who shares insights from his book UNAPOLOGETIC: Clear Answers to Tough Bible Questions, offering thoughtful, straightforward responses to faith questions many people wrestle with today. Rounding out the episode, we cover important local and world news, connecting the dots between policy, culture, faith, and the events impacting our communities right now.
