Summary:

Did you know that the US population is in decline? Most of us don't think about population that much, but it has some pretty significant impacts on daily life: who your neighbors are, what jobs are available, and what your family looks like. Listen to https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Pastors Keith Simon) and https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick Miller) as they discuss and debate these topics, based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Yglesias (Matthew Yglesias's) book https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/50165554-one-billion-americans (1 Billion Americans).
