How did America REALLY begin? As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, claims that the Founding Fathers were mostly deists and that Christianity had little influence on America's founding have become increasingly common. But does the historical record support those claims, or are misinformed pundits trying to rewrite our past while jeopardizing our future? Joining Frank to set the record straight is the one-and-only, @BillFederer, author and founder of American Minute. Together, Frank and Bill unpack the biblical ideas that shaped America's founding, explore what made the American experiment so revolutionary, and examine why so many misconceptions about the Founders persist today. Tune in as they answer questions like: -- Who was the first globalist in the history of the world according to the Bible? -- Why did the founders want to escape the ruling of King George? -- Where did America's Founders get the idea that they could rule themselves without a king? -- How was this idea different from the Roman Republic? -- Do our rights come from God or the government? -- How do we know the founders were Bible-believing Christians and not deists? -- Who pioneered the concept of different Christian denominations living together in the same geographic area? -- What event led up to the first Continental Congress? -- What makes America's constitutional republic so unique in world history? -- What did Benjamin Franklin REALLY think about Christianity? This conversation is only the beginning! Bill returns on Friday's episode to share astonishing stories of God's providence throughout American history--from unlikely victories to moments that seem almost impossible to explain.
