Celebrating God, Our Founder, at America’s 250th Birthday — Cynthia Scott

 

Today on The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric talks with Cynthia Scott about why she says God deserves the credit for America’s founding, how the First Great Awakening and George Whitefield shaped the generation that built the nation, and why the Christian roots of the Revolution, education, liberty, and even abolition have been hidden from modern Americans. They also discuss prayer, America 250, and why this moment is not just about fireworks and parades but about turning back to God and understanding the providential story of the nation. Subscribe for clips from The Eric Metaxas Show to hear politics and culture from a Christian perspective.
