In the Words of the Rocky Mountain Voice

“Gooch’s teachings are filled with rich anecdotes that bring history to life. One of his favorites involves Benjamin Franklin during the Constitutional Convention. As tensions rose, Franklin urged the delegates to seek divine guidance. ‘Ask God,’ Franklin implored, a sentiment Gooch often repeats in his classes. ‘Our Constitution is written, ratified, and inspired by Christian men who asked for guidance in moments of heated debate,’ he adds.

‘Studying this has done a lot for me spiritually,’ Gooch reflects. ‘It’s a reminder of what’s possible when people unite for a higher purpose.’”
