Summary

Segment 1 • The political shifts in Minnesota across recent decades have been cataclysmic. • Anti-ICE protesters storm a church mid-service, with cameras rolling. • Peter’s letters on sanctified suffering suddenly read like tomorrow’s news — are you prepared? Segment 2 • How would you handle political protestors storming the doors of your church? • Our suffering must be grounded in our salvation: what Christ has done for us. • Focusing on Jesus and His work - like the pastor of that church did - is the only way to weather the coming storm. Segment 3 • We must think about how scary-good AI is getting. • We are creatures that are made to work - and we should not offload all of our work to machines. • There are elements of the human experience that will never be able to be replicated by robots. Segment 4 • AI is the next in a line of extreme technological advancements that humanity has faced. • Where will things be with AI and automation a decade from now? • Do we need to prepare ourselves for pastors that aren’t strictly human? ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners. If you would like to support Wretched Radio we would be extremely grateful.

0:17.1	Let's all do baptism, and I have a little pool here and we'll all feel nice and relaxed.

1:20.1	It's always been kind of middle.
1:21.7	There were some governors who were Republican.
1:24.7	They were rhino-like, but nevertheless, I remember Arnie Carlson, Tim
1:29.5	Palenti. I wonder what Tim Belanti was more of a moderate fellow. Nevertheless, a Republican
1:36.0	governor could be nominated in the state of Minnesota. No mas. They have gone wildly left.
