This week we will have a special show: your questions answered. Bring your questions about the state of the church in the world or current events, and we will try to answer them.  You will be able to answer your questions in the live chat on YouTube. Our last question and answer session a few years ago went very well so we are hoping you enjoy this.

Kevin McCarthy from the office of House Speaker.
