Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Hey there, folks. Welcome to the program. This is what we call Hour One.

Hour One. And by the way, today is Yom Kippur.

It is.

Which I believe is the Jewish Halloween. Am I getting that right? I don't think so. No, you know what? I always get that mixed up. Halloween is actually the pagan Yom Kippur. No, I think that's wrong too. Anyway, it's Yom Kippur. I'm confused already, right. It's actually a holy, holy, holy day.

It's a day of atonement.

It's actually really important. Look it up. Speaking of Yom, which means day, we have 21 days of prayer. Yes. I want to remind my audience, and folks, that would be you. No offense, but that's who you are. You you're our audience we're doing 21 days of prayer for the nation uh last night suzanne and i fasted dinner and

prayed and now i have my reward because i just claimed it but honestly this is a crucial time in

america we all know that at least if you don't know that, lucky you, but it is. And the fact is that we need to pray. And fasting is a wonderful way

to show God you're serious about it. And by the way, you show yourself you're serious about it.

But 21 days of prayer. Sign up. Go to let us worship.us.

com.us. And you'll get stuff sent to you every day. One of these days, I'm going to do something with Sean Foyt again. Let us worship. Sign up for 21 days of prayer. Please do it, folks. It's important. Second request. By the way, we got Zmirak coming up. Oh, boy.

Smirak, he's trouble.

We got Samirak.

In our two, we're Zmirak coming up. Oh, boy. Smirak, he's trouble.

We got Samirak. In hour two, we're talking to Michael Gillen about faith and science.

Also in our two, we have Ask Metaxus.

I'm Metaxis. You ask me questions. I try to answer them.

But I have to ask a favor.

We want people to pre-order my book, Is Atheism Dead?

Why?

My theory is, most of you will get it.
