Hey everyone, welcome to episode 343 of The Holy Post. This is Skyjitani. We have something a little bit different for you this week because I'm traveling overseas. I should be in Hong Kong.

Christian is busy with her documentary project on D-Day called The Girl Who War Freedom.

And I'm guessing Phil is busy with writing scripts, playing with puppets, or I don't know, mourning the death of Plinky Pete still, something's going on with him.

So this week we have a special episode.

A few weeks ago back in February, I was at Taylor University, part of a leadership conference and speaking there, but we also did a panel where a number of the speakers got together and fielded questions from faculty and students about politics.

So we were able to record that and we thought this would be a good week while we're all away doing other projects to share that with you.

So everyone on the panel will introduce themselves in a minute, but hopefully you find this enjoyable.

A reminder that this podcast, like most of them, are brought to you by With God Daily. My daily devotional for people who don't like daily devotionals.

Right now we're going through a series on idolatry and it's appropriate. We're doing this politics panel on this episode because this week we are going through the idol of nation or what happens when we put our patriotism or love of country ahead of our love of God.

So pretty challenging stuff this week in the devotional, but really important given the times that we live in.

Alright, I hope you enjoy this episode and we will be back next week with a regular episode. And I think we have on tap a really great guest.

So you're not going to want to miss that one and hopefully fingers crossed. Fill myself and Christian will all be together in studio again. So see you guys next week.

Welcome to this afternoon event. I do our here for this panel discussion. Politics through gospel lens.

We have a great true up here as you can see and I know like you, I am familiar with the work of these four at different levels and admire each of them and glad that they are here with us today.

I just got back late last night from Washington, D.C. as I this idea of thinking about politics and the gospel is fresh on my mind and looking forward to it.

Let's begin with brief introductions and then we'll get right into some questions. Alan, we want to begin just each of you give your own brief introduction.

So I'm Alan Mumble, I teach literature at Oklahoma Baptist University. I'm a book here, part of the end campaign for Michael.

Yeah, I'm making so many of you read his book disrupted witness this semester. You're supposed to have been reading it this week.

So I get to read it. Michael, where?
