I love the five minute focus because it actually gives me a bunch of stuff in an amount of time that I have to sit down and listen to it. Well done Todd!

Well done, patriot!

This is the first "5 Minute Focus" I've listened to and I liked it as well or even better than the full podcasts, which are a morning staple. This was tight, focused, to the point, and it felt like a story in a way that might be difficult in the podcast.

The enemies the Republic are in their death throes, and it will be all we can do to stay upright and focused on Jesus Christ through the storm(s).

I have an image in my mind that describes what this feels like, the waiting for things to get so bad everything collapses, reminiscent of 1929: LotR second movie/book "The Two Towers". The Ents have taken Isengard, and have given the signal to destroy the dam that keeps the river above Isengard behind it. BOOM, the dam crumbles, the water comes cascading down, and sweeps tsunami-like across the plain of Isengard.

The Ents stand their ground, dig in with their feet/roots, and lean into the wall of water as it thunders over them, swaying even the largest tree but destroying none.

I feel like I'm on the Isengard plain with Treebeard and the dam just broke.
