Tim Barton Shares the Christian Roots of America’s Founding

An episode of Conversations with Christians Engaged — a podcast dedicated to helping believers continue walking in faith while navigating the muddy ways of politics and culture.

What did the Founding Fathers really believe about God, the Bible, and the future of America?

Tim Barton of WallBuilders delivers a captivating and eye-opening recap from the 2024 Christians Engaged Conference in this 37-minute episode of the group’s summer series. Barton walks through powerful stories from American history — letters from John Adams, forgotten sermons that shaped the Declaration of Independence, and the two-hour prayer meeting that opened the first Continental Congress. You’ll hear how deeply faith and the Bible influenced the birth of our nation and how early leaders like George Washington, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin recognized God’s hand in America’s founding. Tim also breaks down recent Supreme Court victories that are turning the tide for religious freedom in our nation — including the overturning of the Lemon Test, and why now is the time for Christians to go on offense in the cultural and legal arenas.
