Summary

Are you missing 'The Rush Limbaugh Show'? You're not alone! Rush didn’t just comment on the news--he inspired millions, entertained countless listeners, and was a refuge for conservatives during some of the most turbulent times in recent history. But what made Rush such a towering figure in conservative media? Who better to answer that question than someone who knew him best—his brother!This week, New York Times best-selling author David Limbaugh joins Frank to celebrate Rush’s incredible legacy, reflect on his faith journey up until his passing in 2021, and discuss how David’s own dive into apologetics and the Bible led him to Christ. Together, they’ll tackle questions like:* Why did some people disagree with Rush--and why might that actually be a compliment?* What made Rush a masterful broadcaster and sharp political commentator?* What role did faith play in the Limbaugh household growing up?* Was Rush a Christian when he passed away?* What surprising trait did Rush Limbaugh and Christopher Hitchens share?* How can we see Jesus throughout the Old Testament?* What ultimately convinced David Limbaugh to embrace Christianity?* How do the Old and New Testaments fit together as one story?Join Frank and David for an engaging conversation filled with humor, memories, and powerful insights into Rush’s life, career, and faith. Though Rush’s voice is no longer on the airwaves, his influence and wit live on. And don’t forget to pick up David’s book, 'Finding Jesus in the Old Testament', to dig deeper into how the entire Bible ultimately points to Christ!Resources mentioned during the episode:Finding Jesus in the Old Testament by David Limbaugh: https://a.co/d/9KDUa7Q (https://a.co/d/9KDUa7Q)

0:48.8	282-282.282. If you want to appear on the program, the email address, if you'd rather send an email.
1:00.6	Ladies and gentlemen, it's on one hand hard for me to listen to that,
1:05.4	and in another hand, exhilarating for me to listen to that because Rush Limbaugh was a part of my life every day
1:11.5	for almost 30 years and, gee, even longer.
1:18.4	Well, it was about 30 years.
1:20.3	And the only reason you're listening to my voice right now is because of Rush Limbaugh.
1:25.9	Rush Limbaugh started talk radio as we know it, which turned into
1:31.0	podcasting. And he was a brilliant man who was not only brilliant, but he had such an amazing sense of
1:41.0	humor that made his political analysis all that more insightful and fun.
1:47.0	And I would never play that music unless I had a Limbaugh on the program.
1:53.0	And I do. My friend David Limbaugh, Russia's brother, who's been on this program so many times before.
1:59.0	He was catapulted to fame because he wrote the forward to I don't have enough faith to be

2:06.2	In fact, for those you that don't know, David and I met because David became a believer
2:11.9	largely through apologetics.
2:14.7	I mean, he can explain some of that as we get into our program today.
2:19.1	And he was very, very much appreciated Dr. Geisler.
2:24.3	And so we met in 2003, just as we, Dr. Garcia and I were writing,
2:28.8	I don't have enough faith to be an atheist.
2:30.1	And we asked him to do the foreword, and he did.
