And now we're gonna build.
voice-verified
Like we're going to build strong and we're going to build fresh and we're not going to hold all that stuff against each other.
voice-verified
Yeah, do you have an example of a question that you were considering answering with a faith-based answer?

voice-verified
Like if there is a political issue that you feel passionate about, I wouldn't say that a scholarship application is your place to try to make some sort of political point.
voice-verified
But if your religious experience was a huge part of your life journey and you going to
voice-verified
this experience transformed you, then I wouldn't hide it.
