0:00.0	Thank you for joining us today in this conversation on the Sword and the Trowel.
0:03.1	Today, Pastor Tom and I talk with Brandon Weikert, who is a friend and a member here at our church, at Grace Baptist Church.
0:09.7	And he's also a foreign policy and technology expert who's done a lot of work in Washington, D.C., and academic work as well.
0:16.4	It's a fascinating, interesting, very helpful conversations that we've had with him on different issues
0:20.8	regarding politics. I hope it's helpful to you. Take a listen. Welcome to The Sword and the Trowel.

1:15.2	off the episode and say, thank you for listening. Hopefully, I'm not a jack of all trades
1:21.3	master of none. But, no, I started out working in politics when I was 16,
1:28.3	volunteering and then ended up just kind of falling into that.
1:33.3	I didn't go to college right away even.
1:35.3	I was working on campaigns.
1:37.3	Ended up going to DePaul University in Chicago
1:40.3	and kept going with politics all during that time.
1:44.7	I was the president of college Republicans, part of the conservative union,
