Friends welcome back to the

to the Ransom Tar podcast here in March. Wow my goodness where did January and

February go?

Excited to be back here for part two of a conversation that super close to my soul these days.

And my son Blaine is with me.

Last week, if you didn't pick that up, we were beginning to talk about how do you live at the end of the age?

How do you live in a time that is first off a brutal time to be a human being and all of that that I've been

introducing for months now? God cares about our humanity and maturity and wholeheartedness are simply not

an option anymore. This is a very difficult hour. How do you live in this hour? And as I had introduced last time,

I was asking Jesus that question,

how do I live in such an odd time as this?

And he said, by expecting the wonderful.

I know oh my goodness yes yes yes because without that it's just the long march.

It's just the one foot in front of another,

keep going, the next mission, the next crisis, the next meal, right?

Yeah, it is the difference between

Apocalypse Now and C.S. Lewis's comments on the Lord of the Rings

where the Apocalypse Now is

meaningless. It's conflict,

it's conflict, conflict, conflict, the famous line.

Someday, this war will be over,

but not really.
