Hi Erick, You have a great website, The Resurgent (I link it to show you courtesy, as I usually don’t link lesser-known blog sites). Truthfully though, I’ve never listened to your radio show.

That’s why it’s so disturbing to see that Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary has partnered with Rick Warren’s megachurch to form … Read more
