0:00.0 | You're listening to Breakpoint this week, where we're talking about the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview. |
0:07.3 | Today we're going to touch briefly again on the way faith is influencing college athletes. |
0:12.6 | And then we're going to get to the inauguration and some of the big cultural changes that have already taken place since President Trump took office this past week. |
0:20.0 | So we have a lot to get to. |
0:21.0 | We're so glad you're with us. |
0:22.2 | Stick around. |
0:24.8 | Welcome to Breakpoint this week from the Coulson Center for Christian Worldview. |

1:16.4 | Oh, good heavens. |
1:17.3 | Yeah, take credit for it, you who moved to Ohio a couple years ago and just kind of claim it. |

1:41.4 | I stand by that. |
1:42.7 | But now you have jumped back on to the bandwagon of the Buckeye. |
1:46.5 | See, and you think I don't listen to you. |
