Welcome to the Colson Center Podcast Network.

This is Breakpoint this week, a weekly briefing on faith, culture, worldview, and mission with John Stone Street, president of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview.

Hi, I'm John Stone Street, and I'll be joined in just a second by my co-host Shane Morris here for Breakpoint this week, where we talk about

the issues and the stories of the week from a distinctly Christian worldview.

But before we jump into the topics at hand, and we're going to be talking about the presidential

debate first, which we assumed would absolutely be the story of the week, and it was hard

to imagine that anything could overtake that.

We just heard just a few hours ago that the president and the first lady had both tested positive for the coronavirus.

While this is sure to add all kinds of dynamics to an already ever-evolving and changing culture that we currently live in,

the primary concern, of course,

is for the health and well-being of the President and the First Lady. So our prayers are with them,

and we pray that God will grant them a speedy recovery. One of the challenges of recording the way

that we do in this format is that oftentimes the program is put together and a new

story like this hits the airwaves. And I wanted to acknowledge our prayers and concern for the

president and the first lady. And now, thanks for joining us for Breakpoint this week.

John, I'm a parent of three kids under eight, so I really know what, you know,

quarreling and squabbling looks like. But I don't

think I've ever seen anything on the level of what we witnessed Tuesday night. I mean,

have you recovered yet from watching that? Oh, would you just shut up, man? See what I did there? See what

I did there? I think he said shush, but, you know, it. Oh, he said shush too, but he said shut up too.

I think he covered it all.

It was really remarkable.
