The Morning Five
From The Center for Christianity and Public Life and part of That Sounds Fun Network, join Michael Wear every Monday-Thursday morning for a brief, 5-minute podcast episode that has two goals: 1) Provide a brief overview of the top political news that will drive conversation that day 2) Invite you to not merely consume the news, but pray about it! Our intent is to provide you with an easy way to pray, learn and talk about the news without provoking unnecessary anxiety, anger or antagonism. “They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord” (Psalm 112:7).
