## Resource

Steve spends the first hour outlining the various responses to the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding and why critics of the deal need to look at the bigger picture and answer one important question. Then, author and pastor Chris Danielson joins the program to discuss the book he co-authored, "Bible Sidekick" — a conversation outlining the pros and cons of various translations of Scriptures. Finally, Ana Hibbs joins the program for another round of what's buzzing with Gen Z.
