This week, Eric Metaxas graciously returns for his third appearance on the podcast to touch base with Pastor Allen about the current state of the nation and his newest book, A Letter to the American Church. Eric weighs in on the overwhelming silence of the church and church leaders, the evil of gender confusion in our schools, and how we need to boldly lead with our faith in every arena of our lives.

Eric Metaxas is a bestselling author of Fish Out of Water, Martin Luther, If You Can Keep It, Bonhoeffer, Miracles, Seven Women, Seven Men, and Amazing Grace. He has written more than thirty children's books, including the bestsellers Squanto and the Miracle of Thanksgiving and It's Time to Sleep, My Love.

His latest book is Letter to the American Church.

He is the host of the Eric Metaxas Radio Show, a nationally syndicated radio program heard in more than 120 cities around the U.S., featuring in-depth interviews with a wide variety of guests. Metaxas speaks to thousands around the U.S. and internationally each year.
