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."

Eye roll. Holy toadie.
Are you making fun of a man’s beliefs?
Let me know when he gets out of bed with the Globalists and GOP-E.
Then his Religiosity will begin to ring true!
When a man needs to lie and hide travel records, his beliefs are a joke.
Is this a good time to bring up Mister Trump's hush money payment to a porn star?
True Christianity is the one thing that defeats the left. Reagan kn÷w it, and preached it.
RDS is a true man of faith.
………………………………..
What faith? Deep State? Pence was a faithful man too and look at what a sell out he was. So was Bush. So was Robertson. So was Ravi Zacharias. FFS, nobody is buying that Christian label anymore because people have been burned by the phonies.
Amen!
Ron DeSantis is certainly more of a Christian man than pResident Joey Brandon is.
You really have no idea what you are going on about. Exempting records relating to the security of certain state officials that are held by law enforcement from public record laws is not the same thing as lying and hiding travel records.
You might try reading the actual amendment that is the bill’s subject.
What makes you so sure DeSantis could not possibly be a sincere Catholic who truly believes what he said to them?
Except now it is Desantis receiving hush money. Else why hide his travel records? Am I right?
I have become jaded over the notion of ‘good’ Catholics.. Godfather Joey has sent me over the wall.
He has said twice that he wasn’t gonna run for president. He wants to put on the armor of God, but he’s a liar. God hates liars.
DeSantis is hiding his travel records to prevent the LGBTQ army that Trump and Disney support from tracking him down and attempting to persecute him everywhere, as they were.
He hasn’t said that once, sounds like someone else has been lying to you.
Hey, how can anyone track him on trips he has already taken.. total hot air lies.. who is paying for his trips?
Trump zombies don’t care about Ron DeSantis’ obvious faith, or strong family and anti-LGBTQ values. That just makes him “Sanctimonious” in their minds, considering who and what they have to constantly defend.
No because that whole story is fake news. It was a nuisance payment like rich business men pay all the time because it’s cheaper than suing. The harlot admitted in writing nothing ever happened.
