Welcome to Politics by Faith.

It's being here.

Got an email from yesterday's episode that we did about how God's hand was clearly protecting

our service members during the operation in Venezuela.

There's no question about it.

Steve wrote me a note, Stephen Ohio.

He said, I was thinking not long after the success of the mission to Grab Maduro was promulgated, how many prayers

for God to be with the troops at the beginning of this mission were offered up? I bet more than a

couple. Knowing this administration, knowing the Secretary of War, like we do, I'm certain that that was true.

I want today to provide one more broad overview of what's going on right now and what time we're living in.

And then I want to bring in a biblical story of Jason that I think can drive all this home.

One point, the big overall point I want to make is that, and maybe you've said this in your life as well,

if you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself.

So what we outlined over the last couple days is that we live in a post-Cold War

era where we've been told by academia that all empires are bad.

Now, all of human history has only been about empires.

More empires than we can count.

More empires than we've ever heard of. Some have totally been forgotten. There'll be empires more empires than we can count more empires than we've ever heard of

some have totally been forgotten there'll be empires just listed in the bible just like one little

mention of it that's it you never hear about it ever again even though there was like an empire

for hundreds of years that existed i'm reading one book and it mentions an empire that existed

that we know nothing we don't we have no
