The American Revolution and the Kingdom of God

Was the United States of America really founded as a Christian nation? Were the Founding Fathers truly Christian? In this episode David Bercot explores details from the American Revolution, and considers how the values shown by those involved in the American Revolution relate to the values of the Kingdom of God.

David Bercot earned his doctor of jurisprudence degree from Baylor University School of Law and his Bachelor of Arts degree from Stephen F. Austin State University. He presently operates Scroll Publishing Company for the purpose of publishing resources that concern the pre-nicene Christian church. Find Bercot's book, "In God We Don't Trust," at:

Bridge Campaign

For nine years, generous supporters have enabled Anabaptist Perspectives to publish regular, upbuilding content. Essays, episodes, the teaching series of Frank Reed, and this summer, Anabaptist Origins: all released freely across a wide range of platforms. Our team grew to meet the production demands of the past two years, with that growth largely funded by giving raised for specific projects like Origins. That giving did what it was meant to do and has now been spent. While our monthly supporter base has grown to over 130 members, their giving does not yet cover ongoing production costs. Current supporters provide an incredibly valuable foundation, so a lack of additional donors would not stop the work, but it would slow considerably. Staying within our current base would mean scaling back hours, publishing less often, and setting the larger projects aside. You have a real say in what we can and cannot do. To sustain what we have built and carry some margin into next year, we are seeking $50,000 by the end of November. Thanks to generous donors, the first $12,000 of this will be matched dollar for dollar. If this work matters to you and you want to keep it going, you can give at anabaptistperspectives.org/keep (or by check to Anabaptist Perspectives, 127 County Road 616, Athens, TN 37303) P.S. If you are unable to give right now, you can still help by passing an episode along to someone who may be blessed by it.
