Chris has done the research to accurately trace how we got where we are today. I’ve learned so much. This explains so very much.
Cheryl the Pianist · Oct 2024
Chris does a phenomenal job of piecing together all the little details of how the evangelical church (of which I count myself a member) have gotten to where we are today.
His presentation is enlightening, sometimes shocking, and always uplifting and challenges people to do better with what they have.
Been listening for a few months and can’t wait to hear what the years bring.
