”How long halt ye between two opinions?”

In today's world it's so easy to get consumed by everything going on around us. Our jobs, our politics, our social media influence, our homes and other material possessions.

In today's episode we'll consider how we can keep ourselves from falling victim to the same temptations that trapped the people of Israel.
