| 0:00.0 | It's Wednesday, February 23, 2022. |
| 0:08.1 | I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events |
| 0:12.2 | from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:14.4 | You will expect that we will very quickly get to the crisis in Ukraine, Russia's invasion |

| 1:28.4 | and because God made it, it reflects his glory. |
