Hey folks, my name is Johnny Artivannis and this is Dialin. I want to thank those of you who have

already purchased my recent book, Consider the Lilies Finding Perfect Peace and the Character of God.

This month is a particularly crazy month. You know, when I signed a contract to write the book over a

year and a half ago, I didn't know providentially it would come out during election season with everything

going on.

And it is an uncertain time.

And there's a lot of people that are anxious and worried.

And that's just the political component of it that may be separate from the different things that we're navigating personally in our own lives.

And so I do hope that book is a resource to you that would encourage you and comfort you

and challenge you to fix your faith and exercise your gaze on the character of God.

You can buy the book wherever books are sold and really grateful to see how the Lord is using it.

as much as I could, call a spade a spade because the Democratic

agenda is intent on their freedom to murder babies in the womb. And I think if you've grown up in the

church, you may have, you know, we talk about abortion, but sometimes I think we may be doled to the

evil of it and I want to pause for a moment and say I'm mindful of the fact that there are people

listening to this podcast people that I minister to in my own congregation that have had abortions

and I always want to interject and say that the mercy of God is always greater than our former sin.

And he can cleanse us from any sin. And he's done that in my life and he can do that in yours.

But in this episode, I want to begin maybe a series over the next matter of weeks and months
