Summary

Tune in to hear Pastor Wilson talk about Trump in 2020 and how Christians should look at the Trump re-election problem. Then he plugs C.S. Lewis’s Dangerous Idea, and wraps things up with a talk about the Greek word “Aladzon”. Happy Plodding! Show Notes: Trump in 2020: Trump wants to run again what do Christians do now?
