And we are diving right back into David Barton

speaking on the American Restoration Tour. It's an opportunity for you to get this really powerful

information, timely information for where we are in the culture right now. And also possibly get a

chance to hear David live. You can go to Faith Wins and check out their website and see where else they're going to be speaking over the course of the next few months. But we wanted to bring it to our Walbowders live listeners. And if you missed yesterday, it's available on our website right now in the archive section. And if you happen to listen to yesterday, well, good news. We're about to pick up right where we left off at the end of the program yesterday.
