J.C. - I appreciate the list you are sharing. It makes me want to show more love for my dad. (08:00)

Using soft LED lights led to an 84% drop in suicide attempts in Japan (40:38)
Matt - Can you talk about the difference between imputation of righteousness and infused righteousness? How to Protestants misuse passages here? (45:01)
