Hour 1: The Gift of Life
This hour, we focus on the gift of life, starting with a conversation with Dr. Michael New on chemical abortions. What is happening at the U.S. Supreme Court, and what does the future look like regarding “the abortion pill”? Then, Wesley Smith, from The Center for Human Exceptionalism, will discuss what it means to be human as opposed to “robotic biological machines”. Join us for a great hour of conversation.
Hour 2: Faith Affirming Findings
If the Bible is inspired and inerrant, then the archaeological record will affirm it. And it does. Bible scholar and Dallas Theological Seminary professor, Dr. Paul D. Weaver, will join us to examine some of the fifty most important archaeological discoveries that confirm the historical reliability of Scripture. Don’t miss this fascinating conversation.
