You're listening to the Russell Moore Show, where we look for signposts in a strange time

by standing fast to what really matters. Kingdom over culture wars, truth over tribalism,

pilgrimage over partisanship, sanity over cynicism, witness over winning, and Christ over everything.

Today we have a listener question as we seek to do just that.

Well, this is one of those episodes I look forward to because it's the episodes where I talk to you responding to listener questions. And before we get into them, let me remind you, send your

questions in to questions at rust Russellmore.com about anything.

It could be about church, Bible, theology, an issue you're wrestling with about a relationship

or family or work or whatever it is. Send it to us at Questions at Russellmore.com and extra

points if you send it in a voice memo where I can actually hear your voice.

There's a lot that comes through in the human voice that just doesn't in printed text.

Lots of nuance and everything else.

So please do that for us at questions at rustlemore.com.

And we have with us our producer,

Leslie, who has the listener questions for me, Leslie. Do we have questions today?
