If you’ve been hurt by family or friends whose fundamental Christianity placed a burden on you that was too heavy to bear, this episode is for you. Robert does a deep dive into the movie “Frozen,” the ways people react to fundamentalism, and a better way forward through Jesus himself.

As the senior pastor of a church which submitted itself to an independent investigation of sexual abuse, and which is currently submitting to another investigation, Robert has recorded this episode as a resource to others who find themselves in a similar situation and are looking for Biblical guidance. This episode looks at two main questions: why is the church uniquely susceptible to sexual abuse, and what can be done to protect against sexual abuse?

In Part 2 of this two-part series, Robert unpacks what it truly means for America to be a “Christian Nation” by looking at the founders’ beliefs, the intentions behind the way they designed our nation, and how to deal with the failures of our country in a way that honors our founding principles.

In this two-part series, Robert answers the question “Is America a Christian Nation?” two ways: absolutely not, and absolutely yes. In Part 1, he takes a closer look at the history of American exceptionalism and its ties to Christianity, both at America’s founding and also to this day.
