About this episode

Seth Gruber and Tim Barton discuss America's Christian founding and the implications of rewriting its history as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary.

In today’s episode we talk about America’s forgotten Christian founding, the myth that the nation was merely a product of Enlightenment deism, and why the phrase “Christian nationalist” is now used as a weapon against anyone who fears God and loves their country. Seth Gruber sits down with Tim Barton, president of WallBuilders, inside the Seven Weeks Coffee Studio at The Last Stand, to expose the real story behind America’s founding—Benjamin Franklin’s motto, covenant charters, congressionally issued days of prayer and fasting, Scripture-shaped constitutions, and the faith-filled vision that helped build the nation. As America approaches its 250th anniversary, this conversation asks a provocative question: will the nation remember the God it once honored, or continue rewriting its own history?
