| 0:00.0 | I'm at NRB this week, and I've been getting to talk with some old friends and making some new friends. |
| 0:08.0 | It's a wonderful collection of people who are using their voice for the sake of the gospel in this most unique season. |
| 0:14.0 | I know you know by now as an election year. |
| 0:17.0 | I think we have a challenge in front of us, not just selecting candidates and deciding to participate in the process, |
| 0:23.6 | but avoiding the pitfall of imagining that an election is going to fix all of our problems. |
| 0:28.6 | Politicians didn't make these problems, and politicians aren't going to fix them. |
| 0:32.6 | Now, I believe elections have outcomes, and I think it's important to participate in the process. |
| 0:36.6 | If you're not registered to vote, stop and go register to vote. If you don't know how to do that, you go to My Faith votes and just follow the banners. You can do it online. And then participate in the process, invest the energy and effort to know who the candidates are and the difference it makes. On a national platform, it's not about personalities. If you don't |

| 1:04.8 | committed to do that. That's where the funding comes for. They don't really have a choice. |
| 1:09.0 | The local elections, that's more about individuals |
| 1:11.0 | and their choices. Participate in the process. But here's the mistake. Political candidates aren't |
| 1:17.3 | going to fix the heart problem, and our nation has a heart problem. That's the church's assignment. |
| 1:23.4 | Our assignment is to be a transformational voice in the midst of whichever place God plants us. |
| 1:29.9 | I love this nation without apology. |
| 1:32.7 | I'm grateful for the heritage we have of a Christian faith. |
| 1:35.4 | I'm not confused. |
| 1:36.5 | I don't think they play the star-spangled banner and the elevators of heaven. |
| 1:40.3 | And I don't think behind the pearly gates, the red, white, and blue is going to be flapping in the breeze. |
| 1:45.0 | But I do believe God called our nation into existence and that our educational system, our legal system, has emerged from a biblical worldview. |
| 1:53.1 | And we're the holders of that heritage. |
