  • So political! Who’s Kingdom are you lifting up?

    Disappointed. I thought this would be about Faith, and our relationship with God. The conversation I listened to, and really tried to understand, was only Conservative-bashing. They compared the rioting and break-in of the Capital to 9/11??! I can’t get behind this.
