What We Should Have Learned from the Pilgrims with @BillFederer
Kingdoms rise and fall, yet by God’s providence America is still standing. But for how long? Frank and historian Bill Federer pick up right where they left off, exploring the story of American Exceptionalism, the biblical ideas behind our freedoms, and why we should approach our country with genuine gratitude instead of cynicism. Together they answer questions like:
-- What makes the U.S. Constitution so unique?
-- Why did the pilgrims flee Europe, and what set the stage for the very first Thanksgiving?
-- What happened when the pilgrims experimented with socialism?
-- Why is it always a recipe for disaster when nations forget about God?
-- How did Christian persecution in Europe shape the foundations of American freedom?
-- What surprising thing did Squanto say to the pilgrims before he died?
-- What are the top 3 truths about America that every young person should know today?
As Bill threads the story of America together, you’ll see just how deeply the church, Scripture, and divine providence shaped the nation we often take for granted. This episode will challenge you to appreciate the freedoms we still enjoy, and recognize what it takes to preserve them.
