On
this Independence Day, discover how the pastors of the American
colonies, derisively called the Black-Robed Regiment by the British,
boldly taught their congregations the Biblical principles to resist
tyranny.
Guest
host Adam

interviews
Dan
Fisher,
author of Bringing
Back the Black Robed Regiment: How the 18th century church stood for
liberty and why it must do so again.
Dan
is the co-pastor of Fairview Baptist in Edmond, Oklahoma, a former
member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 2012-2015, and
ran for Governor in 2018. His vision is that the American church will
regain the “spirit” of the original “Black-Robed Regiment,”
and once again actively engage in defense of truth and liberty. In an
impressive 60-minute, multi-media presentation in full period
costume, Dan travels the country to portray these heroic men of
American history complete with verified artifacts from our War of
Independence. (Check out his
schedule).
Adam and Pastor Fisher discuss:
* Pastor Peter Muhlenberg of Woodstock, Virginia who took off his black robe in the pulpit, revealing a colonel’s uniform, and challenged the men to fight.
* Pastor Jonas Clarke of Lexington, Massachusetts who trained his men to prepare for the April 19, 1775 showdown with the British which led to the shot heard ‘round the world on Lexington Green.
* Pastor James Caldwell of Elizabethtown, New Jersey who brought hymnals to the Minutemen to use for wadding to fight the British.
* Pastor Naphtali Daggett, president of Yale, who rallied 100 students to fight the Redcoats, which led to his capture and brutal treatment.
* Pastor John Treadwell of Lynn, Massachusetts, who kept a loaded Flintlock in his pulpit, and who narrowly escaped death at the Battle of Bennington in Vermont.
* The disturbing similarity between the church in pre-World War II Germany and the American church today. Both have, by and large, remained silent in the face of evil.
