Was America founded on biblical principles, or have we been sold a different version of history? 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. They tackle the separation of church and state, the rise of secularism, and the accusations of Christian nationalism. If every law reflects someone’s morality, why should Christians be expected to leave theirs at the door?
QUESTIONS
- How much of what you believe about America's founding comes from historical evidence versus the popular stories you’ve heard?
- Whose values should shape the laws of our nation? Why?
- Are you allowing accusations or cultural pressure to silence your biblical convictions in the public square?
