A New Podcast

Podcast fans may want to check out this new one from Russell Moore.

Locker Room Extinction

How the Phonograph Changed Music Forever

It’s always interesting to compare the present to the past: “Much like streaming music services today are reshaping our relationship with music, Edison’s invention redefined the entire industry…”

Notable Authors. If you’ve never checked out any books by author James White, I highly recommend you do so. I especially recommend The Forgotten Trinity and Scripture Alone.
