Welcome to Politics by Faith. Thanks so much for being here. So give you a little heads up on something

that's going to happen here that you're going to hear. We recorded yesterday a TV special on

the flooding in Texas.

And we had two spectacular guests.

Tom Askell wrote a book about his sister who was dying.

She had six months to live.

And throughout that process, he wrote letters on grieving and suffering.

And he put it together in a book.

And it's called Suffering with Joy.

And he had some perfect insight into why bad things happen and how we should work through it and trust God, love God throughout it.

Then we talked to the professor of Wittenberg University,

whose son, nine-year-old son died suddenly.

It's perfectly healthy, came down with some weird disease, and within 36 hours, he died.

And he wrote a book about that too.

And we talked to these two men who've lived it, and they were just perfect.

But we had three guests on the show that we recorded that we will release here.

Our first guest was there.

He was at the, he saw the flooding, was how I understood the guest.

So I said, oh, that'll be interesting.

We'll talk to this guy about what he saw and all.

And he had some interesting points.

He was a former boxer, so he had some good stuff to say about life and being tested and all that. And he had some interesting points. He was a former boxer, so he had some good stuff to say about life and being tested and all that.
