Welcome to Politics by Faith. I'm Mike Slater. Thanks for communion. If we're new to the podcast,

what we do is we take the story today that causes anxiety. Anxiety is not good. I don't want it.

So we take the story, we break it down. We then explain what's really happening. We lament the

brokenness. And then we provide some historical perspective and then biblical

peace, which helps the anxiety go away. Then we focus on something that is in your control

because anxiety is usually something that you have no control over. So we find something that is in

your control. And then we end with a nice parting thought to leave on. So that's the outline of the show, and there's plenty to talk about.

Every day, more things causing a ton of anxiety.

Today, we got word that there was a drone attack on the Kremlin in Moscow,

an assassination attempt on the president of Russia.

Ukraine says they didn't do it.

And we got this very encouraging headline. Russia threatens nuclear retaliation after accusing Ukraine of trying to assassinate Putin

withdrawn strike on Kremlin. I'm being sarcastic. There's nothing encouraging about that at all.

So we could talk about how this Ukraine-Russia war is just dragging on.

There's no end inside.
