## Resource

In this clip from a previous episode of The Sword & The Trowel podcast, Tom Ascol and Graham Gunden are joined by Dr. Voddie Baucham to discuss why Christians cannot pray faithfully while refusing to act faithfully. They address the Lord’s Prayer, the kingdom of God, Christian influence, education, government, and why every area of life must be brought under the lordship of Christ. Watch the full conversation here: https://youtu.be/hrc3jOFuJBs This conversation was recorded before Dr. Voddie Baucham entered into the presence of the Lord. We share it with gratitude for his faithful witness and enduring ministry.
