The Nation’s Founders Risked Everything—Would We? (Special Guest Eric Metaxas)

A nation that forgets its history becomes vulnerable. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes author Eric Metaxas to discuss why understanding America’s founding matters now more than ever. They revisit the stories of the nation's founders and signers of the Declaration, the sacrifices they made for liberty, and the biblical worldview that shaped how many of them understood self-government. When we forget how liberty was created and the spiritual foundations required to sustain it, we become more susceptible to ideas like socialism and Marxism that promise security through greater government control. Let’s recover the courage to engage the culture, learn our history, and recognize God’s hand at work in our own generation.
