Hour 1: Christianity Is A Crutch
Some have said that Christianity is a useful tool, like a crutch, but has no real meaning in life. Are they right? Is religion - Christianity in particular - just some simpleton's way of coping with the challenges of life? Join us for a lively conversation with a wonderful apologist who will teach us how to better "contend" for the faith. Come to learn not only what you believe but why you believe it.
Hour 2: First Family
Join us as our guest, a well known historian, bring John and Abigail Adams to life against the backdrop of the Republic’s tenuous early years. Drawing on over 1,200 letters exchanged between the couple, he will tell a story that is both personal and panoramic. We learn about the many years Abigail and John spent apart as John’s political career sent him first to Philadelphia, then to Paris and Amsterdam; their relationship with their children; and Abigail’s role as John’s closest and most valued advisor. Join us to hear the story of this amazing couple that is both a revealing portrait of a marriage and a unique study of America’s early years.
