You're listening to Breakpoint this week where we're talking about the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview

Today we're going to talk about the fiery protests at the US capital this week by so-called pro-Palestinian protesters.

We're also going to talk about Vice President Kamala Harris's

presidential run, what her politics mean,

and what this tells us about our cultural moment.

So we have a lot to get to you today.

We're so glad you're with us.

Please stick around.

Welcome to Breakpoint this week. From the Coulson Center for Christian

worldview, I'm Maria Bear, alongside John Stone Street Street president of the Coulson Center.

John I was on vacation last week as I think you mentioned and now make it a point not to watch the news so did anything happen I know it was a really super

slow news week really slow week yeah as usual there are some weeks we come to this

show and it's like oh my goodness like where did we start? What do we begin with?

What's the most important thing?

And this election cycle has already, you know,

we kind of thought, oh, whether the debate's gonna be

the story of the election.

And that seems like so long ago and how many different things are going to happen

between now and you know November and then you've got the larger context of what's happening globally

and what's happening outside the political world so, there's a lot going on.

And I'll just I just need to point this out. I was on vacation when the Dobbs decision

came down. I was out of the country when Hamas invaded Israel on October 7th that following week.
