Summary

A Great Awakening is getting people into theaters and then into conversations they didn’t expect to have: Who was George Whitefield, why did Benjamin Franklin respect him, and how did spiritual ideas shape early American public life? We talk through the wave of listener feedback, including the kind that makes us smile most, when someone realizes they “know a lot about history” because they’ve been quietly learning and sharing it for years. Then we give the honest review many of you ask...

But guys, we've got some similar questions. Really exciting to see this movie A Great Awakening taking off, and we're getting more and more comments from folks, even as we're out there, you know, traveling across the country and speaking at events. But several comments we'll read today and questions from folks on that particular topic. First one comes from Maryland. She said, I don't have a question at this time. I just want to tell you that I've listened to the Wall Builders Radio program for many years, and I'm often surprised at how people say I seem to know a lot about history, but I shouldn't be surprised. In other words, she's listening to us, and then she's repeating some of those things. People say, well, you know a lot about history. I like that. Anyway, she said everything. I've learned from Wild Builders is a priceless treasure. When I went to the sight and sound movie, A Great Awakening, my eyes were filled with tears often, and I realized many of the tears were because I sat in awe of how much I already knew, based on your fast knowledge that you have freely shared over the years. We had to find a theater out of town because none of our theaters were showing it, unfortunately. It was so worth the trip. Earlier that day, I was at a store and shared with the clerk where we were going. And because of her interest, I talked about wall builders. And my excitement overflowed when she wrote down your website. what a joy that was to know someone else was going to benefit from you, David, Tim, and Rick. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Marilyn. Wow. Marilyn, thank you, thank you. Before I even go to the next one, guys, that's got a that's got to warm your heart as well. I mean, she's out there spreading the good news. She got to sit in the movie and recognize so many of those historical things that were

happening in the movie because she'd been listening to the show.

2:04.7

That's pretty cool.

2:05.6

What a great force multiplier out there.

2:08.3

Guys, it's really fun.

And, Dad, I want to brag for just a little bit on the decades of work you've been doing

2:14.9

because this year, there are a couple of movies coming out of stories that you've been telling literally for decades.

2:23.4

And it's because you have the young Washington coming out later in the year,

2:26.5

actually very soon now, which is the story of the bulletproof George Washington.

2:31.0

Dad, you wrote that book like 30 years ago.

2:33.6

It should be longer. I don't

2:34.7

actually know. It was a long time ago. It's got a fresh cover on it now, but it is a story that you

wrote a long time ago. And then you've been talking about that the Great Awakening, being the
