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

Hey there, folks.

Welcome to the show.

I don't know if it's hour one or hour two. I don't care. I've got important things to share with the group. This is an encounter group, circa 1970. And I've got some things I'd like to share with the group to get off my chest. Okay. I need a lot of help. No, I already knew that. I didn't want to share that. Here's what I want to share with the group.

First of all, today's programs, in a couple of seconds, we're talking to Louis Giglio, not to be

confused with the Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez movie that bombed called Gigli. I think it was called Gigli.

No, it's Giglio. Louis Giglio, big deal pastor in the Atlanta area, wonderful guy.

We're talking to him in a couple of minutes.

In Hour 1, folks, if you missed Hour 1, first of all, shame on you.

You need to go back because finally, finally, we got Vody Baucom. Vodie Balkum. I have to tell you, I was so confused about him. He's living,

he's been in the States a lot, but he is in fact full time. I didn't get this in Africa, in Zambia.

And he's a theologian, a writer.

He's a black American who has such a story.

I mean, I won't go into this, but he has had a couple of serious health scares recently.

So he was going to be on this program twice, and he was in the hospital.

People were praying for him.

We have the same publisher,

so I was hearing from my publisher about what's going on. So anyway, he's finally on today's program.

He seems totally healthy. But here's the key. Everybody wants to know, what do I read on the issue of critical race theory and social justice? Well, I would say don't read anything because it's stupid.

But here's the key.

If you're not aware of precisely how it's stupid and evil,

what you want to do is read Voddy Balcom's book.
