| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Breakpoint this week, where we're talking about the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:07.8 | Today we're going to talk about the State of the Union and hit some of the cultural highlights mentioned by President Trump. |
| 0:13.4 | We're also going to talk about the Olympics and how to approach sports and how to celebrate them and put them in their proper place. |
| 0:20.6 | So we have a lot to chat about |
| 0:21.8 | this week. We're so glad you're with us. Stick around. Welcome to Breakpoint this week. From the |
