Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian step into the origins of America in celebration of the approaching 250th anniversary. The guys explore the courage, faith, and conviction that drove a small group of people to leave everything behind in search of religious freedom. As they walk through the Pilgrims’ journey, the harsh realities of the Mayflower, and the formation of America’s first self-governance, they reflect on overlooked stories of faith, bravery and how the American spirit was forged through both belief and struggle.
Today’s conversation is about Lesson 1 of Colonial America: From Wilderness to Civilization from Hillsdale College. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/.
