024 - Three Lines in the Evangelical Sand with Joel Tetreau Feb 23, 2025

Show notes

The word "fundamentalist" is often thrown around to describe anyone from Billy Graham to radical Islamic sects. But, to those of us who grew up self-identifying as one, the term has a whole different meaning. But even among this group, not all fundamentalists are equal. So, joining us this week is Dr. Joel Tetreau of the Institute of Biblical Leadership. Dr. Tetreau is here to chat about his book, Three Lines in the Evangelical Sand: Types A, B, C Fundamentalism.
