What is the United States' 16th President Abraham Lincoln doing in a series about the Bible?  Listen to find out and make up your own mind as to whether Jesus helped Honest Abe get elected!

My guest today is fellow former resident of the Land of Lincoln, and personal friend Beth Dulee. Beth shares her insight on whether God gets involved in the results of our elections.  And she shares a great example of situations when you work really hard to make something come true, and you truly want it, NOT get it, only to realize that God had something better and greater planned for you than you could've ever come up with on your own!  (Just like Lincoln losing his Senator race, which freed him up to serve as President two years later!)

We discuss many of the Lincoln sites in and around Illinois' state capital, Springfield.  I'll link those locations here in case you're close enough to take a road trip!
