Hey, Sletta Cressiders. Welcome back to Road to Midterms. This is our politics by faith

segment. That's the name of our podcast, which is thriving right now. I'm grateful to you for that.

So the genesis of the podcast is there's too much anxiety. I have too much anxiety. Everyone I know is too much anxiety. I can't sleep at night. It's no good. No, not a good way to live. So what we do is we take a story, analyze it, break it down, lament the brokenness in it. It's very important. Add some historical perspective, then some biblical truth. The anxiety washes

away. You can go to sleep at night, wake up refreshed, ready to take on the fight once again.

That's what we do at politics by faith. Now, it's a proper podcast, but we do our last segment

here as a shorter version of that. Same sort of themes, but a little different presentation.

If you're listening on the podcast, thanks for listening. And this is the final segment of our TV show,

Road to Midterms. So you can watch that over there, over here on the first TV. So let's get to it.

To be a successful country, we need our citizens to have three things. You can think of it as a three-legged

stool. We need education, knowledge, wisdom, what do we do with that knowledge? And morals,

how do we treat other people? And do we do the right thing.

Education, wisdom, morals.

That's what we need out of our citizens.

Now, to be a successful person, you need those things.

And to have a successful country, we need those.

So as a country, how are we doing?

How are we doing on our three-legged stool?

We talk a lot on this podcast about wisdom.

It's a word people don't even use anyone.

Right?

Do you ever hear anyone describe the person as wise?

Have you ever heard a politician described as wise?
