Today I am recording (almost) live from Hong Kong, China. . . After sharing some fascinating and moving clips of a sermon Voddie Baucham preached here in Kowloon last year, we follow a thread that connects Voddie’s critique of LeBron James in his book “Fault Lines” with the NBA’s hypocrisy and its unholy relationship with China. And last but not least, I had time to talk through the Pray for China cities of the week, including one I will be seeing here in the next few days!
