0:42.5	have upstage spiritual conversations among Christians. And of course, there's a place for politics
0:47.9	in the life for the believer. Absolutely. But how do we keep a faith perspective,
0:52.3	which is so critical in our day, when there's so much going on politically?
0:56.6	Well, that's the question we ask, and we look to Than Bennett every month to help us answer that.

1:53.7	God to move in our day. I mean, that is what we're called to. So if you want in on the drawing, just text the word book to 877-933-2484.
