The Write Team Daily: "Just As I Am"

from The Write Team Podcast · host David Weaver

Today's episode of The Write Team Daily explores the historic launch of Billy Graham’s 1957 New York Crusade, a revival meeting at Madison Square Garden that was originally scheduled for six weeks—but ultimately lasted sixteen as massive crowds responded to Graham’s message of faith, repentance, and salvation in Jesus Christ. Then, revisit the invention of the early machine gun known as the Puckle Gun in 1718, the debut of Mickey Mouse in 1928, and the humble beginnings of McDonald’s in 1940. Plus, a birthday spotlight on NFL legend Emmitt Smith, a remembrance of iconic American poet Emily Dickinson, and a powerful devotional from Genesis 13:14–17 on trusting God’s promises even when the future feels uncertain. 🎧 The Write Team Daily is our daily podcast covering world events, sports, innovation, faith, and inspiration.
