It was another beautiful day in the Lord’s kingdom, and I was going for a stroll on the beach. After not too long I got the feeling I was being followed. So I looked back, and much to my surprise there were two sets of footprints in the sand. When I looked to my right, I noticed Joel McDurmon walking next to me. I was all, “Hey Joel! What’s up?” And he was all, “Hey man, what do I have to do to get on your podcast?” And that’s how this episode got it’s start. We’re really excited for you to hear what Joel has to say! We talked about his great book “Restoring America: One County at a Time” and his latest (edited) “The New England Pulpit and the American Revolution.”

We also announced the winner of the Restoring America giveaway.
