Folks, today's election day, if you haven't voted, go vote. Stop listening to this program.

In the meantime, we're going to run a wonderful encore. Chris Heimes interviews me about my Bonhoffer book.

Very exciting.

Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to listen to a man of grace, sophistication, integrity, and whimsy?

Well, so are we.

But until such a man shows up, please welcome Eric Mat, Texas. Hey there, folks. This is a very special, I can use the word

special, a very special edition of the Eric Mataxis show, because the Bonhofer movie is

coming out, or maybe it's already out.

And we thought, you know, maybe I should let my friend, at least we've been friends up until now.

Yes.

Chris Himes interview me about Bonhoeffer.

So Chris, yes, hello.

No pressure, but what do you got? I feel like this is like that movie, Parent Trap, you know, where the kid and the child, they trade places or the parent and the child trade places. Exactly like that. It's like that. I get to be the, usually I'm running around saying who's going to be on the show, are they ready? Yeah. And today it's I and you. Yeah. So this is very special.

I, uh, yeah, I'm not normally in this position of, of answering the questions.

But the Bonhofer thing, it's, it's fascinating because the, the film.

Film's coming out, uh, November 22nd.

November 22nd.

So it's taken years and years to make the film. The producers were inspired

by my Bonhoeffer book. Yeah. So making the film. That is a perfect setup to my first question

for you, which is, how do you feel knowing that the book that you work so hard on inspired in some way the attention to this character that is now the subject of the Angel Studios film?

Like, how does that feel for you? Is that surreal?

Are you sad that, and then I have a follow-up. Are you upset that you weren't cast in the film in a supporting role, perhaps, as a good German, you know.
