Summary
The quarantined gang is back again, with better audio quality this time. (Sorry about last week!) Phil shares an experience with preschool-via-Zoom, then the group discusses two proposed theories for America's vulnerability to the coronavirus… A) We're compromised by the anti-science rhetoric of fundamentalist Christianity, or B) We're all too selfish and individualistic. Skye wonders if the real answer is… C) All of the above?
Plus, Phil (yes, Phil!) sits down for a chat with Erin Weidemann, an author, speaker and cancer survivor who has launched Truth Becomes Her - a ministry helping girls resist society's destructive messages about beauty and worth.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, this is Sky. Like many of you, I've got some extra time on my hands because |
| 0:06.0 | of this quarantine, so I've decided to try something new. I've created an audio version |
| 0:11.2 | of With God Daily. That means rather than just reading my daily devotionals, you can |
| 0:15.8 | now hear my melodious voice speaking to you every morning. And I'm not just reading |
| 0:20.2 | the reflections, but also passages of the old and new testaments as well as the historic |
| 0:25.0 | prayers of the week. This is a difficult time for a lot of us, and unfortunately there |
| 0:29.4 | are plenty of unthoughtful religious leaders out there offering all kinds of messages |
| 0:33.5 | right now of blame or judgment or just unhelpful sentimentality about this whole pandemic. |
| 0:40.1 | But With God Daily is different. I've tried to keep a deeply rooted in scripture and |
| 0:44.8 | history and current events. It doesn't offer easy answers and it doesn't pull any |
| 0:49.5 | punches. Instead, it's designed to draw you into deeper communion with God and to show |
| 0:54.8 | you the current world through the lens of faith rather than fear. I always try to keep |
| 0:59.7 | it smart and I promise it's never sadby. And as I've said many times, this is the daily |
| 1:05.5 | devotional for people who hate daily devotionals. And now it's got audio. So check it out today |

| 1:15.5 | Hey there, welcome back to the podcast. This is Holy Post. This is Phil Vischer. We are |
| 1:22.0 | coming to you in quarantine. Hopefully the audio will be a little better this week. We |
| 1:27.7 | were working hard to improve our technical abilities from a distance using Zoom where we |
| 1:35.7 | will be Zoom bombing one another in the middle of our show. And yeah, trying to do a better |
| 1:42.4 | job. Jason is on the line. He can enter in if he wants to because he has to monitor us. |
| 1:48.1 | And so say hi Jason. Hi there. Okay. Thank you. Sky is here from an undisclosed location |
| 1:53.9 | in my out Wheaton, Illinois. I think I have to let my dog in. He's scratching at my door |
