0:00.0	On today's episode of the Sword and Trial, it's my privilege to interview Marcus Schrader.
0:05.2	You may have heard of Marcus. He was arrested just a week or so ago for reading the Bible
0:10.7	on a public sidewalk in Watertown, Wisconsin. Well, Marcus is a student at the Institute of Public
0:16.5	Theology. IOPT is something that founders started two years ago, and he has just completed his first year.
0:23.4	And so I had the opportunity of talking to him about what happened and then his own understanding,
0:28.3	the way he's been disciples, to think about his Christian life and stewarding the gospel that God's
0:33.0	entrusted to him and why he chose IOPT, what he's been learning at the Institute of Public Theology,
0:39.6	as he spent this last year in coursework. So you want to tune in and listen to this conversation,
0:45.3	share it with others, and we want to thank our Founders Alliance members and those who have

1:30.1	happened in Watertown, Wisconsin back on July the 29th, 2023. That's Saturday when he was arrested
1:37.6	as he was reading the Bible on a public sidewalk. Marcus is a student at the Institute of Public Theology. He's just completed his first year,
1:46.3	or is completing his first year of studies, and Marcus is joining us from his home in Watertown. So,
1:51.7	brother, thank you for being a part of the Sword and Trial today. Thank you for having me. Yeah, so I guess
1:58.1	the last eight or ten days of your life have been quite a bit different than the
2:03.2	previous eight or ten days or months or years of your life.
