Issue #11 · August 6, 2026
Two questions run through this issue, and underneath them sits the same one: whose voice gets to tell you what is true? Pedro traces identity back past careers, credentials and the opinions of other people to the Father's own words over His Son, and to a model who never had to prove who He was. Ramie reads a market that split in two, where the headline number and the real story were pointing in opposite directions, and where a 9-3 vote said more than the decision it produced.
Let me ask you something…Who are you? Take a moment now…think about that question. Whatever comes to mind first is what you presently most identify with. Much can be learned about someone's belief system based on how they answer the question, "Who am I?"
