Welcome to a very special edition of the Gospel Truth.

I am now interviewing David and Tim

0:22.3

Barton from Wall Builders' ministry, and they are just a tremendous resource on American

0:29.6

history, and we're doing this in celebration of the 250th anniversary of this nation, and we're

0:36.6

going back and straightening out a lot of the things that

0:39.6

have been said, a lot of misinformation that has been given about our nation. And I tell you,

0:44.6

this is super beneficial. So we're doing this for a two-week period on my program interviewing
