1776, with Andrew Wilson

Send Us A MessageWhen answering the question, "How did we get here?" how far back do you have to go? Mere Fidelity's own Andrew Wilson has identified a compelling candidate when it comes to the rise of the post-Christian West—namely, 1776. This year contains much more than the obvious historical paradigm shift that we all know. Andrew, Matt, and Alastair unpack this significant date with regard to both church and culture.
