Join us this hour as we wade into the marketplace of ideas. We will take a look at some of the stories making headlines before discussing how to pray for those who serve in the entertainment industry.

This hour we discuss a case where an Arizona School Board was sued by a member for censoring Scripture reading at some of the meetings. Is this constitutional?
