| 0:00.0 | Well, welcome to another edition of Hank Unplug, the podcast that is committed to bringing the most interesting, informative, inspiring people directly to you, to your earbuds, as it were. |
| 0:34.8 | And before we get into the podcast, I do want to say, if you love the podcast, |
| 0:39.0 | make sure you subscribe and also that you rate and review. Today, we're going to talk about |
| 0:47.7 | one of the most interesting people I have ever known, bar none. And we're going to do that with Cindy Martin Morgan. She's the daughter of |
| 0:58.3 | the late Dr. Walter Martin, who was the founder and president of the Christian Research Institute |
| 1:05.1 | and the original host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast. So often I'm asked whether or not I'm the Bible Answer Man or |
| 1:12.5 | I'm introduced as the Bible Answer Man and I always say I'm not the Bible Answer Man. I'm the host of a |
| 1:19.1 | broadcast called the Bible Answer Man broadcast. But the real Bible Answer Man who founded this ministry |
| 1:26.1 | is someone you become more familiar with as a result of this podcast. |
| 1:31.3 | Cindy has been very, very active in the defense of the unborn. |
| 1:36.3 | She's written some books, the first of which is titled Rescue Me. |

| 2:02.1 | both of which we have played on the Bible Landis Man Broadcast. One's titled Who Will Save the Little Ones? |
| 2:06.1 | And the other Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. |
| 2:09.1 | Her recent book, and I'm sure we'll talk a lot about that today, is titled the Bible |
| 2:15.4 | Answer Man, Walter Martin. And believe it or not, I'm in the title as well, |
| 2:20.1 | and Hank Hanograph. Dr. Martin's daughter reflects on Siri's founder, its history, and its current president. |
| 2:28.9 | Cindy and Rick have four daughters, and they have six grandchildren. She's been on the Bible Answer Man broadcast. |
| 2:36.1 | In fact, she interviewed me for her own podcast, and we played that on our podcast. So I've had a |
| 2:44.2 | lot of history with interviewing Cindy and look forward to doing it again today. Hi, Cindy. |
