Built on Faith: America's 250-Year Journey

What this episode covers

As America celebrates its 250th year, Lauren takes a look back at a classic episode of the Lighthouse Faith podcast with prolific author and pastor, Robert J. Morgan. In 2020, Pastor Morgan published the timeless book, 100 Bible Verses That Made America, which serves as a powerful reminder that the Bible is woven in and through America's conception, birth, and journey. The history spans centuries, starting in the 1500s with the arrival of Spanish missionaries to the New World. Among them was Antonio de Montesinos, who boldly quoted Matthew 3:3 to those treating native inhabitants cruelly, asserting that they, too, were made in God’s image. Pastor Morgan also reminds us in the prologue that America’s first president, George Washington, kissed the sacred Scriptures at his inauguration. Between these two monumental moments are 98 more defining chapters in American history where the Bible was invoked as a source of strength, compassion, mercy, and light.
