Is America Forgetting Its Christian Heritage? Rod Gragg on Faith and Freedom (Ep 862)
Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson
How important was Christianity and religious faith in the founding of the United States? And have we forgotten the role faith played in shaping the freedoms we enjoy today?
Award-winning historian, bestselling author, and Coastal Carolina University lecturer Rod Gragg joins Joey Hudson for a fascinating conversation about America’s founding, the influence of Christianity on our nation’s earliest leaders, and why understanding our history matters more than ever as America approaches its 250th anniversary.
Gragg is the author of more than 20 books, including Forged in Faith: How Faith Shaped the Birth of the Nation, which was nominated for the prestigious George Washington Book Prize. His award-winning historical works also explore the Civil War, World War II, and the extraordinary individuals who helped shape American history.
We also discuss the upcoming Garnet & Gold Forum: Celebrating 250 Years of Faith in America, scheduled for October 23, where Gragg will be a featured speaker.
Was America founded on Christian principles? What did the Founding Fathers really believe? And what lessons can today’s Americans learn from the faith and sacrifices of earlier generations?
Join us for a conversation about faith, freedom, history, and the future of America.
