[Podcast] Episode 80: Andy Butcher on the Power of the Press

In this episode, Andy Butcher, author, journalist, and editorial director, shares with us about his journey in journalism and publishing, the importance of participating and engaging with the media, and the power that believers have to influence this world in today’s society.

While we need to be wise and discerning, we can also take heart—there is excellent reporting going on everywhere we look, and we can lend our gifts and talents to this cause!
