As America prepares to celebrate her 250th anniversary, debates about the Constitution, religious liberty, and the nation's founding ideals are everywhere. But what did the Founders actually believe? And can constitutional government survive without the moral foundations that gave it life?

In this timely episode of the City of God, Dr. Rob Pacienza sits down with author, scholar, and former Vanderbilt University professor Dr. Carol Swain for a compelling conversation about Christianity, the Constitution, and the future of the American experiment.

Together, they explore the biblical ideas that influenced America's founding, the role of human nature in the structure of government, and why the Constitution was designed to restrain power rather than grant rights.

You'll hear about:

Dr. Swain also reflects on America's approaching 250th anniversary and argues that this milestone offers a unique opportunity to reclaim an understanding of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the biblical principles that shaped the nation.

Her warning is clear: when a people forget their history, abandon moral truth, and lose sight of their founding principles, confusion and division inevitably follow. But renewal remains possible when citizens understand both their rights and their responsibilities.

In this provocative episode of the City of God, Dr. Rob Pacienza sits down with Lucas Miles, pastor, author, and leader of TPUSA Faith, for a wide-ranging conversation about deception, theology, and the future of the Church.

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, many commentators focus on politics, economics, and cultural trends. Lucas argues that these challenges are merely symptoms of something deeper: a spiritual crisis rooted in bad theology and a rejection of biblical truth. As he puts it, "everything is downstream from theology."

Together, Rob and Lucas explore the growing influence of progressive Christianity, the rise of neo-paganism among younger generations, and the worldview battles shaping churches, schools, and public life.

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, many Christians are asking an important question: Can we celebrate our nation without compromising our faith?

In this thought-provoking episode of the City of God, Dr. Rob Pacienza sits down with bestselling author, historian, and cultural commentator Eric Metaxas to discuss America's founding, the Christian ideas that shaped the nation, and why the future of freedom depends on a renewed understanding of our history.

Metaxas argues that America's story cannot be understood apart from the Protestant Reformation, religious liberty, and a biblical vision of self-government under God… but this conversation isn't just about the past.

Metaxas challenges Christians to reject the false choice between faith and public engagement, warning that silence in moments of cultural crisis has consequences. From Bonhoeffer and Nazi Germany to the challenges facing America today, he makes the case that believers are called to bring their faith into every sphere of life — including culture, government, and the public square.

In this eye-opening episode of The City of God, Dr. Rob Pacienza sits down with author, speaker, and cultural apologist Natasha Crain to discuss the growing hostility toward Christianity in modern culture and why believers must be prepared to stand firm in the years ahead.

Drawing from her book When Culture Hates You, Natasha explains why Christians increasingly find themselves labeled “toxic,” cut off by family members, silenced in the workplace, and pressured to compromise biblical truth on issues like gender, sexuality, abortion, and justice.

Together, Rob and Natasha unpack the deeper worldview crisis shaping America today. While millions still identify as “Christian,” Natasha points to research showing that only a tiny percentage of Americans actually hold a biblical worldview.

This conversation explores:

Natasha also offers practical wisdom for engaging culture with both conviction and clarity, explaining why tone, discipleship, and cultural understanding matter when defending truth in today’s world.

Her message is both sobering and hopeful: Christians should not be surprised when culture hates biblical truth — but they must be prepared to respond with courage, wisdom, and unwavering faithfulness.

Is America headed toward renewal—or decline?

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the stakes could not be higher.

In this powerful episode of the City of God, Dr. Rob Pacienza sits down with author, historian, and cultural commentator Os Guinness to examine the future of the American experiment… and what it will take to preserve it.

Drawing from his latest work on America’s founding and future, Guinness argues that while free societies are rare in history, lasting free societies are even rarer. America now stands at a pivotal crossroads.

From the rise of global authoritarianism to the erosion of biblical principles at home, this conversation challenges listeners to rethink what truly made America great in the first place and whether those foundations can be recovered.

You’ll hear about:

Guinness makes a compelling case that America’s strength cannot be measured by military or economic power alone, but by a spirit of freedom rooted in faith.

In this episode of City of God: Families, Pastor Rob Pacienza helps parents and kids understand a truth that can be hard to accept — authority is not a burden, but a gift from God.

While rules, discipline, and being told “no” can feel frustrating, Scripture teaches that authority is part of God’s design to protect us, guide us, and help us grow.

You’ll learn:

Pastor Rob reminds families that even Jesus lived under authority, and that honoring parents isn’t about perfection, but about trusting God’s design. When authority is used rightly, it shapes character, builds wisdom, and leads to flourishing.
