| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Breakpoint this week, where we're talking about the top stories of the week |

| 0:10.7 | Supreme Court. We're also going to talk about the July 4th holiday and patriotism. What does it |
| 0:15.7 | mean for Christians? We are so glad you're with us this week. Please stick around. |
| 0:21.6 | Welcome to Breakpoint this week. On this week's episode, we're going to start with a special interview with a friend of our podcast, Ian Spear.

| 1:35.2 | been wrestling with as a society, as a culture, just in the last couple of decades, and that is, |
| 1:42.3 | what does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be |
