Is there any hope left in the atmosphere of politics these days? With the 2020 election coming up in the next month, it’s easy to have anxiety as we wait to see how the world changes through our choice of president. If you find yourself in this place, listen to Glen’s wisdom as he discusses the reality of how the world is now compared to history, some of the challenges we face today, and the sovereignty of God over all of it. He was able to summarize his ability to see God’s faithfulness in politics through these actions: having God dictate our perspectives, to not focus on the “what ifs” but the “what is,” always be thankful for what we do have, and remind ourselves of what God has done in the past.
