However, I’ve been praying for the Lord to help me have a better attitude and to renew a sense of duty in my heart. I don’t take for granted that we live in the greatest country of all time. So, this November, I’m going to do my part and cast my vote based on the guidance of God.

The episode ends with a discussion of John 3:25-31, where John the Baptist notes that Jesus must become greater, and he must become less.
