Talk Truth 08.11.26 – Tanner Hnidey | Economist, author, and speaker Tanner Hnidey explains why Christians should never place their hope in politics or government, even during uncertain times. Drawing from the books of Habakkuk and Esther, Tanner explores God’s sovereignty over history, why nations rise and fall, Canada’s growing economic struggles, and how dependence on government can replace dependence on God. From inflation, taxes, and interprovincial trade barriers to biblical hope and God’s providence, this conversation challenges believers to keep their eyes fixed on Christ rather than political leaders.
