First, just to get it out of the way, we respond to the State of the Union and point out the Biden administration's actions have been much less uniting than the president's flowery speech tried to be. Then, we move on from news and politics to discuss some audience questions. We start by addressing the common fear of bringing a kid into a world so full of chaos and why you definitely should anyway. We also answer questions about what to do after college, how to use an ESV study Bible, and favorite snacks.
