Now, here's your host, Jay Warner Wallace.

Mark is one of the premier trial attorneys in America.

And he has written this book, among others, called Cold Case Christianity. And I want you to hear some of what he says today. But now I know my weaknesses. I want you to believe that. I do. I know you know them, but I want you to
