Episode Details

David Livingstone was the real deal, a prime example of faith, courage, and endurance over the long haul. We explore the extraordinary career of this missionary and explorer. We consider his indispensable work of putting an end to the wretched slave trade coming out of East Africa. Compared to Ernest Shackleton, who completed his impossible mission over 2 years . . . Livingstone endured 30 years of unrelenting opposition and untoward circumstances. Here is an encouragement to read biographies, and something of the spirit needed to get into them.
