Description
he story of Texas is history writ large. Across the far-flung expanse of Texas, one finds stirring accounts of wide-ranging cattle drives, epic battles for freedom still honored the world over, the larger-than-life exploits of oil tycoons and notorious criminals, and a visionary father-son relationship that upended a flagging culture and recast the region onto surer footing.
Join Bill Potter and Wesley Strackbein for a four-day trek across Texas as they offer a gripping biblical overview of some of the Lone Star State’s defining moments. Journey with them from Galveston to San Antonio and from Austin to Dallas, as they explore the competing worldviews found in bold relief across the Texas landscape, survey lessons of good and bad leadership, and draw conclusions on some of the most important events that have shaped Texas history.
