It’s shocking how the narrative of human history has changed. Students are being taught that religion (Christianity) is the cause of the world’s problems. The truth may surprise you! Dr. Jeff Myers joins me to discuss how Jesus followers have, and can, transform the world in times of crisis.
Dr. Jeff Myers is the president of Summit Ministries. Summit is an organization that equips and supports the rising generation to embrace God’s Truth and champion a biblical worldview. Dr. Jeff is one of America’s most respected authorities on Christian worldview, apologetics, and youth leadership development.
