We are live now on the Conversations That Matter Podcast. I'm your host John Harris. We have a lot to get to today. I want to give you an update though before we get into the topics. We're going to talk about the SBC. We're going to talk about crew. We're going to talk about the VP presidential

debate last night and I did watch it, most of it, probably 90% of it. I missed a little part of the end, but I don't think it was that significant.

address it because there's a lot of things I've thought through, but like I said,

especially international news, but let alone national news.

Let alone the news in our particular Christian groups or social groups or local groups we just we

have to make decisions as to what we're going to actually talk about so Ray says
