• There’s concern that supporting the mainstream halftime show equates to endorsing “immoral garbage” (Bishop Koberis [07:36]).

2. Voter ID and Election Integrity

• Guests: Bishop Calvin Koberis, Gary Bauer

• Relationships thrive when love is expressed and received in ways meaningful to each individual—even with children (“If you have three children, it might be three different languages…” [27:59]).
