This paid message is from Cross International. In a remote village in Malawi, a girl named Esther was born to a single mother. A few months later, the baby's mom tragically passed away. Esther was taken in by her grandparents who did their best to care for her. But resources were scarce and Esther suffered from malnutrition for years until God transformed her life.

Today through Cross International's Thriving Kids Initiative, Esther receives nutritious meals, drinks clean water, and even attends school.

At an after-school program supported by Cross International, she enjoys fun games and activities and engages in regular Bible

lessons and prayer time. Esther knows now that she is loved by Jesus. Her future is filled with hope.

Many other kids like Esther are still trapped in poverty. Help them thrive at crossinternational.org slash CT. That's cross-international.org

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.

Hey, y'all, welcome back to the Russell Moore Show.

This is one of those episodes where we take a question from one of you, from one of the

listeners.

And before we get to today's question, let me remind you, if you have a question about

anything, the Bible, theology, ethics, a situation

you're trying to figure out and going through in your own family or your life or spiritually,

whatever, send it to us at questions at rustlemore.com and extra points if you send it by voice memo so we can actually hear your

voice. So send it to us at questions at russelmoor.com. And we have with us, as always,

our producer, Leslie Thompson, who is the keeper of the questions. Yeah, that's my official title

after producer. Yeah, I wonder if you

have the question with you today. I do, and I want to preface it before I play it. We are recording

this the week after Charlie Kirk's funeral service. So I just want to preface that and sort of set

the tone because we do have a question regarding Maga and want to make sure that is presented in the right light.
