0:00.0	It's Thursday, May 9, 2024.
0:07.0	I'm Albert Moeller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.
0:13.0	Sometimes things happen and all of a sudden you realize that's the world we're now living in.
0:18.0	It's a fundamentally changed world, and for Christians, it's at least a baseline truth that if the world has changed, we better know it.
