| 0:00.0 | It's Thursday, April 24, 2025. I'm Albert Moller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.0 | Issues tend to come onto the headlines and then recede for a while. The big issues come up again and again and again. |
| 0:20.0 | And they come back into the |
