0:00.0	Why are so many young people they fleeing to the occult?
0:05.0	Well, Raj Ware, the author of the Benedict adoption and Live Not by Lies, has the answer in his
0:10.9	new book, Living in wonder, finding mystery and meaning in a secular age.
0:18.4	Today so many Christians only look to the physical, the visible, the provable as an explanation for what
0:27.6	happens and why. Sometimes even we Christians forget about the spiritual reality all around us.
0:35.0	We forget about the enchantment that is intrinsic in Christianity.
0:39.0	This book reminds us of that with some really powerful testimonies.
0:44.5	Rod and I will also get into this election.
0:47.8	He has good personal friends with J.D. Vance.
0:50.0	He's got some thoughts on what is at stake this election and the spiritual reality

1:44.3	that concerns me most of all as a believer and is one who's engaged in the
1:47.8	public square is whether or not the Christian church will be able to make it through these post-Christian times.
1:54.6	And the Benedict option was more about local church, families, homeschool, things like that.
2:00.0	Live Not by lies is more about persecution. This is about recovering the core of
2:05.6	religious Christian experience, which is the experience of the living God.
2:09.8	And I talk in the book about how we in the West lost that idea that God is everywhere present and fills all things and how we can get it back and why we need to get it back.
