In this episode, we welcome Eric Metaxas back to the show. He is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and conservative radio show host. He is the author of 20 books which include biographies of Christian giants like William Wilberforce, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Martin Luther. He was on the show last year to discuss his Christian apologetics masterpiece Is Atheism Dead? In this interview, we discuss his new book Letter to the American Church, how our current cultural moment is similar to what was going on in Germany in the 1930s, why American pastors are too afraid to discuss real issues, how the modern church has bastardized the truth of the Gospel, why people hide behind the edifice of “not being political”, how the American Church should respond to societal pressure, and much more.
