Lord Acton famously said, \u201cPower corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.\u201d Was he right? Mike Erre is back to discuss the way Christians think about power, and why he believes our pursuit of power over the world is not the way of Jesus. Then, author Elizabeth Oldfield talks with Kaitlyn about her new book, \u201cFully Alive,\u201d which uses the Seven Deadly Sins as a bridge for introducing secular people to the wisdom of Christianity. Also this week\u2014the verdict in the Trump trail, a very unique fossil museum opens in Arizona, and Phil creates a fun new game for Christians called \u201cIs It Persecution?\u201d
