We're continuing our new series through Daniel, Faithful Exiles, exploring how to live with faith and integrity in a culture that doesn't always share our values. In Week 3: Integrity in the Public Square, pastor Matthew Fourie teaches from Daniel 6, the famous story of Daniel in the lions' den. Daniel serves faithfully in Babylon's government, yet when prayer is outlawed, he continues his daily rhythm of devotion — and God delivers him. This week, we'll explore how public integrity flows from hidden devotion. In a culture that often challenges faith, we're invited to renew our own rhythms of prayer and trust, drawing courage from God's presence in the quiet place.  

Why should and how can adults and young adults be prepared to enter challenging conversations in the public square? The Rev. Dr. Mark Wood (Pastor of Shepherd of the Canyon Lutheran Church in Gold Canyon, AZ, former managing director of Church Planting, Renewal and Support for the LCMS Office of National Mission) and Dr. Lisa Clark (Senior Editor, Curriculum Resources, Concordia Publishing House) join Andy and Sarah for episode 1 of our "Prepared with a Reason" series to talk about why a curriculum on being prepared for challenging personal and public conversations was important for CPH to create, some scenarios that exemplify the need for education and training in this area, the topics covered in "Prepared with a Reason," how the curriculum prepares us in each of these topics, how this curriculum is different from other apologetics curriculum from CPH, and what readers and listeners can expect to learn. Find the curriculum at cph.org/prepared-with-a-reason-leaders-guide-digital-edition.
