Hello, this Russell Moore.

If you've been a long-time listener, you already know that I'm at Christianity today.

But maybe if you're a newer listener, you don't know about Christianity today.

C.T. is investing in the creative and pastoral lives of the future generation.

And we want to invite you to help us with that mission.

This week, you can join Christianity Today's Week of Giving,

where we come together to invest in and equip the next generation.

These are tomorrow's writers, storytellers, pastors, leaders.

Good news. Your gift will be matched dollar for dollar by

another donor. So double your impact today at more ct.com. That's more with one oh.

CT.com slash next gen. Again, that's more ct.com slash next gen. Again, that's morec.com slash next gen. This is the audio version of the

more to the point newsletter, which you can get every Wednesday in your inbox for free by just

clicking on the link in the show notes. This week, I want to share with you, I did an imaginative experiment about what I would say

to President Trump about the question that he raised a couple of weeks ago about getting into

heaven.

And I started to think, how would I answer this and realized it really is about more than him?

Because I think a lot of us have people in our lives who, even if they're not as blunt or crass about it, kind of have the same inclinations.

And so here's what I came up with.

Dear Mr. President, a reporter asked you not long ago about your efforts to end Russia's war on Ukraine.

And you said this, I want to end it.

I want to try to get to heaven,

if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole.
