POPULARITY
The foundation of American liberty is inseparably linked to Christianity—a truth our founders understood that we're rapidly forgetting. In this deeply reflective episode, Jesse Cope challenges listeners to honestly assess their spiritual dedication: Do we follow Christ only when it's convenient and popular, or do we remain steadfast through hardship?Drawing from Pilgrim's Progress, Jesse asks whether we follow our faith "when it's clothed in rags as willingly as we follow it when it's wearing golden or silver slippers." This powerful examination of consistency sets the stage for a broader exploration of how faith shapes both personal relationships and national character.The episode takes a fascinating turn as Jesse challenges the common Christian notion that "all people are equally good and bad." Through careful examination of Scripture from Matthew and Luke, he demonstrates how the Bible clearly indicates differing levels of judgment and accountability—a nuance often missed in contemporary religious discussions.Perhaps most compelling is Jesse's deep dive into Daniel Webster's profound writings on America's Christian foundations. Webster's declaration that "Whatever makes men good Christians makes them good citizens" and that Christianity is of "inestimable importance" to humanity provides historical validation for the podcast's central message: America's liberty was established upon Christian principles, not despite them.Jesse's thought experiment about heavenly versus earthly treasures hits particularly close to home: "If you could pull up an app and see your savings account in heaven alongside your earthly one, wouldn't that change how we act?" This vivid illustration challenges listeners to align their claimed priorities with their actual behaviors.Join the conversation about faith, liberty, and America's founding principles. Pray with us for Christians facing persecution worldwide, and consider how you might help restore these foundational truths in your own community.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

We all love adventure. We want to go someplace new. We want to explore. We want to sense the excitement that only a journey can bring. This is why we watch the shows we like. This is what some of us save up for trips. There are small journeys we take each day and the larger journey of life. There are journey's that our feet go on and inward journeys that our soul goes on. Both entice us with a great prize: that we would transcend. The deep-down allure of a journey is a call to change, grow, to transcend. The Bible is a record of our journey with God. If you feel like you are stuck on your journey, or you feel like you're just ready for another great chapter this series will help you explore your why, so you can find your way.
