This month, we start the show with a special announcement. Then we talk with James Beverley, author of God's Man in the White House, about the world of religio-political prophecy. And in One Last Thing, Dan is taking advantage of his free trial of HBO Max and Tim is taking advantage of the public library.   Some of the things we talked about on this show: Dr. Beverley mentioned the Vineyard Movement and the Kansas City Prophets, as well as the prophecy ministries of a number of individuals, including Jeremiah Johnson, Lance Wallnau, and Kat Kerr. Many of these ministries align with the New Apostolic Reformation. Dr. Beverley also mentioned the Institute for Studies of Religion at Baylor University. Here is the Catholic News Service article that quotes Dan alongside an advisor to the Pope. Dan's One Last Thing was the HBO Max series Harley Quinn. Tim's One Last Thing was the Hank Green novel An Absolutely Remarkable Thing.   0:00-2:43: Introduction and announcement 2:47-27:53: Berkeley interview 27:58-31:53: Dan's OLT 31:53-34:27: Tim's OLT 34:28-35:26: Credits
