0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.0	I'm Keith Simon.
0:12.0	And I'm Patrick Miller. I read a story that made me laugh recently.
0:16.8	There was a city councilwoman in Seattle who voted for an 18% reduction in funds to police as a part of a defund the police initiative.

1:36.4	who was going to bring God's kingdom?
