Well, I am moving a little slower this Saturday morning because the late night CrossRoad Radio party animals at WBFJ -- that is Deke and John -- kept me going until midnight talking about the DaVinci Code (OK -- really I moving slow because I was devouring some Cherry Garcia at 2am, but that is another story).
I want to say a hearty thanks to Deke, John, and WBFJ for inviting me to come on and discuss this issue. I pray that Christ was glorified through our discussion (and I didn't even mind the headbanging music!).
I also want to say a hearty thanks to all the listeners out there in the Triad, and those tuning in from cyberspace, like my good buddies Billy Belk and David Soesbee. Billy emailed me near the middle of the show to encourage me, and David called the station as soon as we hit the air to let me know he was out there too. I take it by faith that there were others. Sorry Caller #3, I forgot your name, but I appreciate you listening as well.
As I mentioned on-air, all the DaVinci Decoded articles are here on the blog, and I would be happy to answer any questions by email. Let me recommend a couple of good sources to you for further study:

Hi Russ, heard your radio show last night via the net. I thought it to be a well prepared, well researched look at some of the issues raised by a book which has gripped much of the pop culture world today. I pray that some of those who have read the book without knowledge of the Truth of the Gospel might be compelled to seek out the Truth as a result of hearing last night.
Thanks Chris! I hope folks will check out your blog about your upcoming adventure in Brazil! Very excited about your opportunity!
Russ, thanks for coming onto the show this Friday. It was really one of the best shows we have had in a while. Maybe we can get you on again as one of our resident apologetisists (did I spell that right?). May God bless you and your ministry.
PS: I have a shirt and a CD with the breaks from Friday ready for you.
Deke,
I think that word is apologists. Thanks for bringing me on and for the goodies.
Russ
