It's Thursday, November 13, 2025. I'm Albert Mueller, and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.

As you know, we're living through a collision of worldviews. We're also living through a revolution in morality. And one of the ways that

0:23.1

revolution moves forward is by changing an argument. So when a major argument changes, we need to

0:28.7

pay attention. And we now see the argument for abortion rights changing before our eyes. It appears
