Summary
John and Maria outline the worldview angles behind President Biden's "Build Back Better Plan." Notably, John points to the inherent issue with the Department of Health and Human Services directing relief money sent to families to be used specifically in professional child-care services.
Then, John explains the current issues with the Olympics and China. Maria asks John a series of important questions on how the United States should respond to the human rights abuses China is committing against faith-based groups in China. John outlines two important options before the State Department, considering how the United States can bring attention to the abuses and seek protection for those impacted.
To close, Maria asks John a question related to how important it is to continually question worldview and faith-growth for Christians. She shares that it can be distracting for believers to continually be concerned about how we're thinking, failing to consider Christ in an effort to think Biblically. John shares important insights and encouragement.
