It's true. I met Dr. Stephen Collins, biblical archaeologist in Albuquerque

through pastor skip heitzig. And he related to me his discovery of biblical

Sodom. It's astonishing. We've discussed it on this program before.

Obviously, I write about it in my book. But the last time I was in Albuquerque,

just about a week ago, I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Collins

and just chit chatting about other stuff. And among the things we discussed

was another book he's written. You know, he's just not discovering biblical Sodom

and sitting on his laurels. Oh, no, he's doing all kinds of other things.
