In this episode, Michael takes us on a deep dive into the reasons why Washington D.C matters to what God is doing in the world and how Faithful Presence is working to care for those working in this great city. Along the way he discusses lessons learned from 15 years in sales, whether America is God's new favorite nation, why we aren't suppose to wear buffalo hats, and recaps Marvel's: "Infinity War" & "End Game."  Michael also introduces us to a new job title, "think-tank thinkers."
