Unscrolled

Some stories are bigger than the stage they're told on. Before they had any children, Nicole Stratton’s parents started a ministry. In her words, it was their first baby. More than 50 years later, that ministry is bringing the Bible to life onstage.  

In this very special episode of “Unscrolled,” we’re coming to you from the World Stage Theater at Museum of the Bible. Noah and Nicole Stratton share the story behind the Logos Theater: a ministry begun in 1971 on faith alone, and the family that grew it into full-scale productions of C. S. Lewis's Narnia classics.

Join us as Harvard Divinity School historian Dr. Catherine Brekus joins host Matthias Walther to explore the American Revolution through the lives of ordinary people, especially the women whose faith and sacrifice helped make it possible.  

This episode will take us from just how the Bible saturated everyday life in 1776 and how Christianity and Enlightenment ideas came together to fuel the push for a republic, to the introduction of three "founding mothers" who read their revolutionary activism through Scripture, and the contradictions of the founding. plus, the "Christian nation" debate, and what the Bible offers today.

Next, host Matthias sits down with Dr. Bobby Duke, chief curatorial officer of Museum of the Bible, to examine the significance of the Megiddo Mosaic, an archaeological discovery from one of the earliest known Christian worship spaces. Together, they unpack what this remarkable find reveals about the beliefs, practices, and community life of some of Christianity’s earliest followers. 

Finally, Pastors Tim Timberlake and Philip Anthony Mitchell of the Street Preachers podcast share their perspective on a growing global revival movement, arguing that genuine spiritual renewal is being fueled not by church-growth strategies or personalities, but by prayer, biblical proclamation, authentic worship, and discipleship.

Can you guess the most-cited book in America's founding-era politics? Hint: it wasn’t Montesquieu. It was Deuteronomy. Historian Daniel Dreisbach joins Unscrolled to reveal just how deeply the Bible shaped the Constitution, from checks and balances to due process and the treason clause. Listen in for a conversation that will challenge what you thought you knew about America’s founding… and maybe even reframe how we think about the roots of self-government.

Historian Dr. Thomas Kidd, Research Professor of Church History and the John and Sharon Yeats Endowed Chair of Baptist Studies at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, joins Unscrolled.

Join us for this episode of Unscrolled with Justin Giboney — author, attorney, civic leader, and founder of the AND Campaign — to explore what the gospel has to say about justice, moral order, and why Christians don't have to choose between the two. In this conversation, Justin shares what it means to engage politics with biblical grounding, courage, and a witness that points people to Christ rather than to a party — drawing from his new book, “Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around,” and the civil rights generation as a model for today.
