Episode 17: David Murray on Writing

Listen to author, historian, and professor Thomas Kidd and I discuss multipack of topics on writing. George Whitfield used the technology and platform of his day for the spread of the gospel. What can we learn from him and our writing? Is platform wrong? Social media can do a lot of good things—if it weren't for Twitter, Dr. Kidd and I would have never connected. Listen as Dr. Kidd and I navigate it all.
