The historical figure discussed in this episode is a subject of debate in many circles, all of whom seem to have polarized opinions on his character and beliefs. When one analyzes Benjamin Franklin’s own words and experiences, it becomes clear what an extraordinary person he really was. Learn about the man behind the misconceptions and discover a Founding Father whose name is truly worthy of our honor.

For those who have sent me messages, I want you to know that the platform does not allow me to respond, so here is my response saying thank you so much for your support! It is appreciated more than I can say, and rest assured that I will continue to release episodes. Some subjects just take more time than others, but I have every intention of continuing this work of purifying our history. Thank you!

In a time when faith is largely ridiculed and seen as foolish, we often forget that some of the most brilliant people in history had a firm belief in a Divine Creator. This episode discusses a contemporary of Charles Darwin whose name has been lost to the world because he stayed true to his beliefs. The great natural scientist’s life holds a much needed lesson for our day.
