Pastor Joe Schofield hosts a deep-dive session of Raising Expectations, featuring California State Assembly candidate Elizabeth Wong Ahlers. The discussion explores the intersection of conservative governance, spiritual resilience, and the urgent need for "righteous leadership" to address California's systemic challenges.
The "Raising Expectations" Mission and Team
The program serves as a platform for conservative believers to discuss personal, professional, and corporate decisions through the lens of faith. Host Pastor Joe Schofield is supported by a diverse team, including Dr. Paul Hall, Dr. Craig and Stephanie Thayer, and Pastor Ron Greer. The team emphasizes "finding God in the ordinary" and producing "authentic hope" through trust in Christ, a theme echoed in the various books authored by the hosts, such as Saved and Legitimate Faith.
Reclaiming the Golden State: The Ahlers Platform
Elizabeth Wong Ahlers, a fifth-generation Californian and mother of six, is running for the State Assembly in District 40 (Santa Clarita area). Her campaign is built on the "Mama Bear" instinct—a response to what she describes as a failing educational system, sky-high gas prices, and exploding homelessness. She argues that the current "one-party rule" has led to unsafe streets and a mass exodus of businesses, and she advocates for a return to innovation, opportunity, and freedom.
Political Integrity and "Fake Republicans"
A significant portion of the dialogue focuses on the internal friction within the Republican party. Ahlers criticizes candidates who have recently switched from the Democratic party but do not uphold conservative platform values, such as standing for the national anthem. She specifically points to an incumbent who reportedly missed 2,000 opportunities to vote "no" on harmful legislation, choosing instead to remain off the record to avoid political fallout. Ahlers asserts that her refusal to compromise on issues like Proposition 1 (abortion) has made her a target for the establishment, but she remains committed to her "conscience".
Spiritual Warfare and the "Armor of God"
The participants frame the political landscape as a manifestation of a spiritual battle. Drawing from Ephesians 6 and the Book of Daniel, they discuss the "demon princes" and "spiritual armies" that influence geographical areas. Dr. Paul Hall and Ron Greer use military analogies—such as being "over the target" when facing heavy fire—to encourage Ahlers. They emphasize that the "Armor of God" only protects the front, signifying that believers must continue marching forward by faith rather than retreating.
Marriage and Family as the Campaign's Foundation
Ahlers highlights her 36-year marriage to her husband, Ron, as the "culmination of their giftedness." She describes Ron as her "medic"—the strength and common sense that stabilizes her amidst political gunfire. She insists that her campaign team must respect this hierarchy, as any political victory that undermines the foundational unit of marriage would be a hollow one. This "complementary giftedness" allows them to navigate the "wicked and dark" areas of culture together.
The episode concludes with a call to action for believers to disengage from "quietism" and actively participate in the political process. By standing firm in their worldview and refusing to compromise on core principles, the speakers believe they can inspire a "great California comeback" led by righteous leaders who represent the people's rejoicings rather than their groanings.

Passover Seder 2026: Spiritual Observance and Prophetic Fulfillment
Ark of Grace: 2026 Passover Seder
Live Broadcast Analysis: Ritual Symbolism & Prophetic Global Transitions
LIVE • APRIL 2, 2026
PHASE 1
The Preparation
Chametz removal, candle lighting, and opening prayer for global freedom.
PHASE 2
The Seder Order
Communion, Matzo breaking (Afikomen), 10 plagues, and the Dayenu.
PHASE 3
Prophetic Watch
Analysis of Artemis II, Pam Bondi firing, and Iran's infrastructure collapse.
Sacred Elements & Meaning
✓
The Matzo: Symbolizes Christ being "pierced and bruised" for iniquities; unleavened for haste.
✓
The Blood: Placed on doorposts in the shape of a cross; a sign for the plague to "Pass Over."
✓
The Afikomen: Wrapped and hidden (Tomb) then brought back (Resurrection/Holy Spirit).
Current Event Alignment
Artemis II Launch (NASA)
Launched on 1st night of Passover. Named after a pagan goddess of "the hunt." Interpreted as an attempt to open spiritual gates.
Iran Bridge Collapse
Fulfillment of Feb 10, 2023 prophecy: "Their bridge is about to fall down." Trump confirms largest bridge in Iran destroyed.
#Passover2026#PropheticUpdate#Exodus#Artemis
Reading Time: 12 min • Brace for Impact Launch: April 7
This broadcast, hosted by Amanda Grace and Chris on April 2, 2026, commemorates the second night of Passover through a traditional Seder meal and a deep-dive into the prophetic significance of current global events. The session bridges ancient biblical ordinances with modern-day occurrences, emphasizing the role of Jesus Christ as the ultimate Passover Lamb.
The Passover Seder and Christological Symbolism
The observance began with a ceremonial cleaning of the home (removal of chametz) and the lighting of the festival candles, signifying the official start of the Seder. Central to the evening was the recognition of Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach) as the fulfillment of the Passover sacrifice. Participants partook in communion, identifying the matzo as His broken body and the wine as the blood of the new covenant that redeems and reconciles believers to God.
The Seder plate elements were explained through both historical and spiritual lenses. The Maror (bitter herbs) represents the bitterness of slavery, while the Charoset (apple mixture) symbolizes the mortar used by Israelites in Egypt. A significant highlight was the Afikomen ritual; the broken middle matzo, wrapped and hidden, was compared to Christ being wrapped and hidden in the tomb, with its subsequent "ransom" symbolizing the promise of the Holy Spirit.
The Seder Plate: Symbolic Elements
Matzo: Unleavened bread; "Bread of Affliction" & Christ's stripes.
Maror: Bitter herbs; the suffering of bondage.
Charoset: Sweet mortar; the labor in Egypt.
Z'roa: Roasted bone; the mighty arm of God.
Beitzah: Egg; new life and the bravery of midwives.
Karpas: Parsley; spring and the tears of ancestors.
Prophetic Analysis of April 2026 Events
Following the Seder, the broadcast shifted to analyzing three major events occurring during the Passover window, which were framed as fulfillments of prior prophecies. First, the launch of the Artemis II rocket on April 1st was criticized for its pagan naming (after a Greek false goddess) and its timing on the first day of Passover. This was interpreted as a deliberate attempt by secular powers to "open gates" and summon ancient principalities in high places.
Second, the firing of Pam Bondi as Attorney General on the second day of Passover was linked to a prophecy from March 27, 2026, which predicted a "great transition within the administration" and a "rearranging of what was out of order". Finally, the reported collapse of a major bridge in Iran was highlighted as a direct fulfillment of a February 10, 2023, prophecy stating that "their bridge is about to fall down" as a sign of leadership crumbling.
