First 90 secondsSpeaker 10:00
Good morning. I'm Hunter Baker. Every week on Washington Wednesday, we try to look past the headlines and ask what's really driving the story. Sometimes the answer is politics, but most of the time it's culture, worldview, and what you believe about God and the Bible. Often it's a mix of all of the above, and that's what makes World so different. At a time when so much news coverage stops at what happened, World keeps asking why it happened and what it means. If that kind of journalism matters to you, I hope you'll support World during this June giving drive, wng.org/donate. I'll be back in less than 10 minutes. Lots to talk about.
