Hi guys, today I've got a very special interview with Eric Mataxis. So he's the number one

0:28.0

New York Times bestselling author. He's also a speaker and conservative radio show host. He's

0:32.5

written biographies on Christian Giants, like William Wilberforce, Martin Luther and Dietrich

0:36.8

Bonhoeffer. Actually, the Dietrich Bonhoeffer book is on our book list. The 100 books every modern

0:41.4

Christian man should read lists. It's an incredibly, incredibly important book. He's also written

0:45.3

some comedy books, some children's books. And he even wrote a script for veggie tales, which I found

0:49.3

out. But he's got a new book out this week. If you're listening to this on time, it came out Tuesday.

1:32.4

that we talk about here all the time on this program. Okay. I absolutely love my time with Eric

1:37.4

Metaxas. We're going to be getting into more things later on. We're going to have him on so we can

1:41.5

have a more proper kind of long form interview and dig in a little bit more. But guys, I'm not going

1:45.2
