In this episode we talk about a tactic of the enemy that seeks to keep us distracted from the things that actually matter and how the solution is relying on and loving God.

IMPORTANT NOTE: An important companion episode to this one is Episode 68: But what does the Bible say? If you have not listened to that episode, I would recommend listening to it in conjunction with this one.


DISCLAIMER: In this episode there is some occasional background noise, but I didn't think it was significantly disruptive.

**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**

When reading Nehemiah 13:9, I accidentally said, "and I brought back from there the vessels of the house of God, with the grain offering and the frankincense." It actually says, "and I brought back there the vessels of the house of God, with the grain offering and the frankincense." The point is that Nehemiah returned these items to the house of God.
