Tim Goeglein

On this Special Encounter on Bott Radio Network – The 1960s was a decade that changed America. Man’s efforts over the years to create a utopian society have failed. Why? Because they’re based on man’s efforts, when we need to submit to God’s authority. Chris Meikel talks with author Tim Goeglein, author of “Stumbling Toward Utopia,” about reversing the destruction that’s been done to our society, that continues even today. How the 1960s turned into a national nightmare and how we can revive the American Dream. That’s the topic on this Special Encounter on Bott Radio Network.
