Write this Down! with Dot Bowen

In a season marked by uncertainty, Dot and Cara refocus today on the truth that Jesus is not up for election—He is King, sovereign over all. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 7:14-15, they discuss the responsibility we have as Christians to both pray and participate in the political process. Dot and Cara remind us that while we seek the best for our country, we ultimately look to God for guidance, peace, and hope beyond any earthly power. Join them in a prayer for our nation and reflect on how, even in times of fear, we can trust in God’s goodness and faithfulness. Grab a cup of coffee and your Bible, and let’s pray for our country  together.
