Is what we do in church truly biblical… or has it been shaped more by American culture than we realize? In this episode, we speak with Pastor Kelly Fleming to unpack the fascinating origins of practices like Sunday School, altar calls, and other staples of modern evangelical life. Along the way, we wrestle with a deeper question: how do we faithfully discern between timeless truth and cultural tradition? This one will challenge you—in the best way.

What if revival wasn’t just a story from the past? From crowded colonial fields to frontier camp meetings and citywide prayer movements, America has witnessed moments when entire communities were suddenly awakened to God. In this episode, we explore the true stories behind America’s greatest revivals—and the surprising lessons they reveal about how real spiritual awakenings begin or are counterfeited.

Did Christianity help shape the U.S. Constitution? In this episode, we explore the historical and theological influences behind America’s founding document. Looking at the beliefs of the Founders, the moral framework of the era, and key constitutional principles, we examine how Christian thought helped shape the foundations of American government—and where modern assumptions get it wrong.

In this episode, to kick off a new season, Jeremiah Riner is joined by Pastor Travis Hilton for a thoughtful conversation on the influence of Christianity on the Founding Fathers and early American patriots. They explore how biblical ideas shaped the founding of the nation, while also engaging critically with the good, the bad, and the ugly of Ken Burns’ recent documentary, The American Revolution and why these perspectives matter today.

As we finish out 2025 and make our way into 2026, host Jeremiah Riner gives us a list of things to consider. From politics and economics to pop-culture and sports, there’s a wide variety of events and issues to look at in the coming year. We hope this episode helps you better understand these happenings and gives you some things to look forward to in the coming year.
