So you know how we make a point not to talk about politics on this show? Well, today we're dedicating an entire episode to it (two, actually if you count part 2)!

With instant access to news in real-time and social media providing everyone with a platform to express their views, it's no wonder. So this week we're going to take a look at the role of prayer in politics. Even we were surprised at some of our conclusions! This podcast is sponsored by Faithful Counseling.
