0:00.0	We're living in tumultuous times, yet amid growing hostility in the world, there's a renewed
0:06.3	hunger for truth. The question for Christians is how will we respond? Hi, Nathan W. Bingham here,
0:13.3	and before we get to today's episode, I wanted to let you know about a special event taking place
