Frisco pastor urges followers to help Trump stay in office and keep guns loaded before Biden inauguration

Days after President Donald Trump incited supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overturn the election, an evangelical pastor in Frisco told his congregation they have an “executive order” to keep Trump in office. Brandon Burden, the pastor at KingdomLife, is a former Frisco City Council candidate and member of the Frisco Conservative Coalition, a political action committee. He and the church are known around Frisco social media circles to promote conservative ideals and leaders, including Trump, who made history Wednesday as the only president to be impeached twice.

As Burden stood at the pulpit Sunday, he shouted in tongues while a woman at the altar waved a large American flag in front of him. The pastor cited “prophetic voices” who have said God told them Trump would be president for eight years. “We have an executive order — not from Congress or D.C., but from the desk of the CEO of heaven, the boss of the planet,” Burden said. “He said from his desk in heaven, this is my will; Trump will be in for eight years.” He said it’s the responsibility of his congregation and other Christians to execute God’s order and alluded to the Battle of Jericho, leading church members in a march. “Take down the walls of Jericho,” Burden said. “The Lord says your Jericho is Washington, D.C. That’s your fortified city.” The pastor, who is also a licensed realtor in the Frisco area, has not responded to a request for comment.
