Brandon sits down with Tim Barton of WallBuilders to challenge the narrative that America's Founding Fathers wanted a nation free from religious influence. From the faith of the Founding Fathers to the pastors who helped spark a revolution, they uncover a history that’s being left out of our children’s classrooms.
