Hamilton and Other Nationally Known Speakers, from Fox News’ Todd Starnes to Faith Investigator J. Warner Wallace, Talk About the Nation’s Most Culturally Relevant Topics at March 23-24 Event

GREENSBORO, N.C.—Race relations in America was a serious topic in 2017, and the subject continues to create national conversations.

As the nation observes Black History Month in February, Dr. Alex McFarland (www.AlexMcFarland.com) is preparing to welcome the American Family Association’s Abraham Hamilton III, a foremost leader in his community, to the 2018 Truth for a New Generation (TNG) conference. At the two-day North Carolina event next month, Hamilton will explore the ground-breaking topic of “African Christianity Predates the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade” from his unique perspective.

“This nation needs saving,” said McFarland, who is also Director for Christian Worldview and Apologetics at the Christian Worldview Center of North Greenville University in Greenville, S.C. “And that is exactly why we chose the very important theme of ‘Save a Nation’ for the 2018 Truth for a New Generation conference. In the past year, our country has been plagued with sometimes-violent racial unrest, deep political divisiveness and even spiritual brokenness among the faithful. We pray these passionate speakers, including my friend Abraham Hamilton, will spur attendees to radical change, God-driven action and world-altering steps that will, indeed, save a nation.”

At the American Family Association, Abraham Hamilton III serves as General Counsel and Public Policy Analyst. He is a husband, father of five children, lawyer, home-school dad, Bible teacher and a nationally syndicated radio talk show host. On Monday through Friday at 5 p.m. CST, he hosts “The Hamilton Corner” on the American Family Radio network, where McFarland also hosts “Exploring the Word.”

Hamilton has an undergraduate degree in New Testament Biblical Literature from Oral Roberts University and a Juris Doctor degree from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law. He is a member of the bar associations for Louisiana, Houston and Texas, as well as the Federal Bar Association. In the legal profession, Hamilton served as a criminal prosecutor, handling major felony prosecutions at the trial level.  His ministerial focuses include marriage, family, biblical worldview training and discipleship formation.
