As America approaches its 250th anniversary, we often remember the Founding Fathers, the Declaration of Independence, and the Revolutionary War. But what kind of people were capable of building a nation that has endured for nearly 250 years?

In this special America 250 episode of Everyday Reformation, Nick Carter and Pastor Brandon Scroggins explore a forgotten part of America's story—the Christian households that shaped the generation who built the nation.

Together, we examine how ordinary Christian households became the foundation upon which extraordinary leaders were formed.
