On this edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton and Eric discuss his book, Letter to the American Church, and the role of the American Body of Christ in the culture. If we are to keep history from repeating itself, we must stand and speak out against the modern-day evils or risk being guilty of helping those evils to thrive.
