Why is the American Revolution, and the founding of the United States, such an unusual and beneficial event in world history? What makes this revolution and national birth unique among all others? Was the United States a Christian nation when it began? Were the founders Christian? Most importantly, what role did believers in general play in this monumental event? And what can we learn from it today?

All these and other questions will be answered in this discussion between Chris and Casey, who give their biblically-minded view of the American efforts for independence from Great Britain. Beginning with the Great Awakening and its influence on the Revolutionary Americans and their society, they discuss the big causes, events, characters, and results of the Revolution. Particular attention is given to the role that Christianity, Christians, and Bible preachers and pastors had in this fight for freedom. Also, they talk about the major battles, happenings, and leaders during the fighting itself. All told, you'll see that the Revolution, and the early nation, was way more Christian than most Americans and westerners believe.
