My name is Zachary Schertz and I applaud you for remaining true to your principles and not compromising. One of the worst things that Christians have done is give up on the cultural and moral wars. Now we are dealing with the consequences.
I would like to pitch a show to your upcoming network.
It is called “Luke Comes to Know Christ”.
It shows a historical fiction account of Luke as he grapples with his lack of belief as he investigates the miracles of Jesus as a doctor.
I would love to tell you all about what I have made.
