Last year at the Shepard's Conference, I was to see him for a few minutes out to his house.

And I went there and I was praying, Lord, what should I do? He's getting close to glory.

And I did something that men do not often do to men like him, but should do all the time.

I walked in and I said, Dr. MacArthur, is it well with your soul?

Are you reading the word? Talk to me about your prayer life. How is your communion with Christ? Welcome to the Conversations That Matter podcast. I'm your host, John Harris. Hopefully everyone can hear me. We are crafting the bold Christian vision for America here.

Let me know how everything sounds while we get started. This is an unannounced live stream.

I decided to do it because of circumstances in my own day. Actually, I was supposed to be doing an interview right now with someone and it didn't work out. And I thought, well, I got a little bit

of time.

I'll do a live stream because there's been a lot of new stories over the last week that we need to talk about. And I think it'll be a blessing for you. I got some good news, I think, to share with you at the end of this podcast. I'm trying to do that more. Share the good news. I think people need to be remembered. God's still at work. There's still good things happening. Sometimes it's in your

neck of the woods. Some of the woods... trying to do that more. Share the good news. I think people need to be remembered. God's still at work.

There's still good things happening. Sometimes it's in your neck of the woods. Sometimes it's

bigger than that. And if we just focus on the negative and especially if we make positive things into

negative things, then we're really going to be gloomy people. I don't think we need to be that. We've

inherited some great things. We're going that we've inherited some great things we're

going to hopefully pass down some great things we are still here and god put us here for such a time

as this and so we're going to do the best we can with what we have that's the message for today and

of course it is the beginning of spring i don't know where you're listening from, but where I am, it is a balmy 70 degrees today.

It's going to get town again to the 30s, I think, tomorrow.

But for now, we're enjoying it.

Hopefully, I'll be able to go out later with my family and enjoy it because we have just

been cooped up for a week.

We have been in some of the worst
