Our Founders Never Meant to Separate God from State

What happens when a nation forgets its spiritual foundation? In this thought-provoking episode, we examine the undeniable Christian roots of America through the writings and declarations of our Founding Fathers themselves. 

Diving into 2 Thessalonians, we explore how Scripture provides discernment in an age of deception while challenging listeners to honestly assess their priorities. How much time do we devote to social media, entertainment, and trivialities compared to our spiritual growth? The answer reveals much about our values.

The historical record speaks clearly: 93% of Constitutional Convention delegates identified as Christians, and their faith directly shaped our founding documents and principles. We unpack how the phrase "separation of church and state" has been dramatically misinterpreted from Jefferson's original meaning, which was never intended to remove God from public life but to prevent government establishment of a national denomination.

Drawing compelling parallels between 1930s Europe and contemporary America, we examine how censorship, political correctness, and ideological intolerance threaten the foundations of liberty. John Adams' warning that "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people" takes on renewed significance as we witness the cultural consequences of abandoning our spiritual heritage.

This episode serves as both historical correction and spiritual wake-up call. By reconnecting with America's true founding principles, we can better understand why faith and morality aren't optional extras but essential foundations for preserving freedom. Share this episode with someone struggling to understand America's spiritual roots or questioning why faith matters in public life.
