About this listen

This week's episode is solo hosted & recorded by Christian Harris, while he was on his family vacation at a lake house in Virginia. He sits down with a family friend, father and pastor of Osborne Baptist Church in Eden, NC. We touch on his backstory and how he came to be a pastor, as well as some of the unique history of America's Christian founding, dispelling some commonly believed myths about the founding fathers, historical revisionism, America's checkered past with slavery, where we are now as a country and where we can find our hope.

    • It is possible for our fear to be real, while our fear is not rooted in reality (perception of things being way worse then they actually are).
