Thanks to all who gave during our Spring Fundraiser!  Carmen talks a few minutes to thank some who gave at the end of our our on-air fundraiser.  Then, Carmen opens up Psalm 7:1 where David appeals to God for protection.  How do we apply that to when the governement seeks to silence those of faith?  How do you apply it when, like Ben Sasse, when you are facing death?  Apologist Daniel DeWitt of Scholar Leaders helps us to remember the grace that saves us, and not our (im)perfect obedience.  It's freedom.  Plus, he offers a Christian take on being "post-ambition, pre-retirement."   The Reconnect with Carmen and all Faith Radio are made possible by your support.
