Welcome to Douglas Wilson's The Plodcast.

As promised, there is a brand new release in the Christian Heritage Series,

George Herbert's The Temple, with a fantastic forward from John Piper.

Although he was a pastor of a small remote church in Elizabethan England, George Herbert came to fame because of a small collection of poems called the temple.

In this short but beautiful collection of poetry, Herbert devised 116 new poetic forms to capture his experience of awe, sorrow, glory,

turmoil, repentance, and heart-rending joy.

All of it dedicated to God, not man.

In this book we have a picture of the full range

of human experience and emotion, felt by a man being sanctified by God and describing

it with all his poetic powers.

Get George Herbert's The Temple with a foreword from John Piper today at cannon press.com. Yes God.

God.

God don't never change he's God.

So welcome to the plodcast.

This is the plodcast, not any old podcast, this is the plodcast.

This is episode 132. It's good to have you here. Thanks for joining me.

So this is political season, the last two

podcasts I've been talking about politics and I want to continue to talk about

politics. Well I want to talk about something that's looming in the background of

our politics. I want to talk a little bit about Donald Trump. I don't want to talk about

supporting him or voting for him or not or I want to talk about how Christians can pray for him and not pray for him as the president,

but how Christians can pray for him as a man.
