Podcasts about Native Americans

This is the story of a three-year-old girl and the highest court in the land. The Supreme Court case Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl is a legal battle that has entangled a biological father, a heart-broken couple, and the tragic history of Native American children taken from their families. We originally released this story back in 2013, when that girl's fate was still in the balance of various legal decisions. We thought now was a good time to bring the story back, because the Act at the center of the story is still being questioned.When then-producer Tim Howard first read about this case, it struck him as a sad but seemingly straightforward custody dispute. But, as he started talking to lawyers and historians and the families involved in the case, it became clear that it was much more than that. Because Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl challenges parts of the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act, this case puts one little girl at the center of a storm of legal intricacies, Native American tribal culture, and heart-wrenching personal stakes.LATERAL CUTS:What Up Holmes?The GatekeeperEPISODE CREDITS:Reported by - Tim HowardProduced by - Tim HowardEPISODE CITATIONS (so many):Background and Reporting from a range of different perspectives"Couple forced to give up daughter"An introductory article by Allyson Bird, for the Charleston, SC Post and Courier"Supreme Court Takes on Indian Child Welfare Act in Baby Veronica Case" A report for Indian Country Today by Suzette Brewer, who has also written a two-part series on the case."Supreme Court hears Indian child custody case"Tulsa World article by Michael Overall which includes Dusten Brown's account of his break-up with Veronica's mother, and his understanding about his custodial rights.

Music icons, queer trailblazers, and our heroes—Indigo Girls and Melissa Etheridge—share the wisdom, humor, and heart that have carried them through decades of music and community. We talk about faith, the power of music to heal and connect, their advice for queer kids, and the lessons they're learning from young activists. About Indigo Girls:  Across four decades, 16 studio albums, and over 15 million records sold, the Grammy-winning Indigo Girls – Emily Saliers and Amy Ray – continue to blaze the trail for generations of Queer artists in the mainstream.  Committed and uncompromising activists, Saliers and Ray work on issues like racial justice and reproductive rights, immigration reform, LGBTQ advocacy, education, death penalty reform, and Native American rights. Indigo Girls was the first of six consecutive Gold and/or Platinum-certified albums.Their latest record, Look Long, is a stirring and eclectic collection of songs that finds the duo reunited in the studio with their strongest backing band to date.  About Melissa:  Melissa Etheridge stormed onto the American rock scene in 1988 with the release of her critically acclaimed self-titled debut album. Etheridge hit her commercial and artistic stride with her fourth album, Yes I Am. The collection featured the massive hits, "I'm the Only One" and "Come to My Window," a searing song of longing that brought Etheridge her second Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Performance.  Known for her confessional lyrics and raspy, smoky vocals, Etheridge has remained one of America's favorite female singers for more than two decades.  In June of 2020, Etheridge launched The Etheridge Foundation to support groundbreaking scientific research into effective new treatments for opioid use disorder.  Follow We Can Do Hard Things on: Youtube — @wecandohardthingsshow   Instagram — @wecandohardthings TikTok — @wecandohardthingshow

Payments to tribes for federal contracts, BIA law enforcement, food distribution to schools, and health care access could all be affected by the federal government shutdown. It also has a significant effect on the 30,000 Native American federal employees and members of the military who may not be furloughed, but will not receive paychecks until the shutdown is over. This is the second government shutdown in the past decade; the previous one was the longest on record. We'll get the Native perspective on what's potentially in store as the shutdown progresses. GUESTS Aaron Payment (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians), tribal councilman and former chairperson for the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians A.C. Locklear (Lumbee), CEO of the National Indian Health Board Mike Stopp (Cherokee and Muscogee), president and CEO of SevenStar Holdings, LLC Sue Parton (Kiowa), President of the Federation of Indian Service Employees

Dr. James Spencer sits down with Dr. Peter Y. Hong—federal prison chaplain and author of The Reconciliation of Humanity in Christ—to explore how a prison chapel became his living parable for our “shrinking” world. Peter describes ministry in a pluralistic, constrained space where Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Native American practitioners, and others share one room—and why respect, service, and patience often open gospel doors better than aggressive tactics. From the fall of the Berlin Wall to today’s digital interconnection, he distinguishes false globalization (forced unity without Christ) from true globalization (Eph 1:10—all things united in Christ). We talk nationalism, fundamentalism, and why the church should expect collaboration + conflict, yet persist with mercy, empathy, and hopeful witness.

Culture keepers and historians are closely watching President Donald Trump's review of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) and other institutions to eliminate what he calls derisive or partisan narratives. It's among eight museums that receive federal funding are that are currently under review. NMAI's exhibits include Native American perspectives on historical documents and events that include treaties, Indian Boarding Schools, the Termination Era, the American Indian Movement, and the Indian Child Welfare Act, among many others. Those watching are concerned Trump's directive could permanently alter how those topics are presented to the public. NMAI also develops educational curricula that counters incomplete instruction on historical events, like Thanksgiving. We'll hear from those who were instrumental in NMAI's founding, as well as get perspective on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's announcement that soldiers that took part in the Wounded Knee Massacre would retain their Medals of Honor. GUESTS Dr. Suzan Shown Harjo (Cheyenne and Hodulgee Muscogee), president of the Morning Star Institute, a founding trustee of NMAI, and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom Rick West Jr. (Cheyenne and Arapaho), CEO emeritus of the Autry Museum of the American West and founding director of NMAI OJ Semans Sr. (Rosebud Sioux), co-executive director of Four Directions Vote

I had Jeremy Lipking on today and he is such a wonderful artist. I've always been a fan of his work. You know, it's not a far stretch to compare him to somebody like John Singer Sergeant or Joaquín Sorolla. He has this strong sense for posing figures, highlighting their emotions and body language. The way he sees these images in his head and then is somehow able to translate them to the viewer is quite remarkable.In early September  2025 our schedules lined up and I finally had the opportunity to record a podcast with him. We had been talking about doing this for quite a few years, but I wanted to do it in person as opposed to recording over Zoom.  We actually got together during the Far West Show here in Austin and recorded on the balcony of my hotel room with the beautiful backdrop of the Austin skyline in the background. Like all these podcasts, I came away with something unique. In this case, it was the essence of who this individual is and his humbleness, quite frankly. I found out something unique that I had never even considered. You see, Jeremy is a quarter Native American, and it's not something that he's really spent time talking about or exploring so much. So for me, that was quite interesting, to say the least, to hear about that component of his life. That's the thing. You have to take your time when interviewing people so you can hear their story in full. Jeremy was very generous and let everybody get to hear about his world. So I had a great time with this really important artist. He's got a retrospective that's going to come up in April 2026 at the Booth Museum that you don't want to miss. This is Jeremy Lipking on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 365.

Send us a textHuman Design Circuitry Part 2Remember how you gravitated to the group you felt comfortable belonging to in High School. Our Human Design Circuitry is kind of like that. Only our group is predefined by the elements in our personal Human Design chart. Communication is so important in creating and sustaining healthy relationships. Without it we assume things that are often untrue. To appreciate one another we need to understand how we're each interpreting the world. One way to do this is listening deeply.  Another is respectfully honoring different perspectives that impact our thinking and formulate individual priorities. Human Design Circuitry helps us identify which of the three groups we all fall into.  It gives us clues about one another that may help us lower the temperature in our communications.  Especially when we passionately disagree about the direction of our lives - based upon how we view the world. By looking at the priorities, strengths, and different perspectives of each group. We begin to understand our trigger points. It's my hope that this conversation gives you tools to build bridges instead of distance with those you love, admire, or simply want to stay connected to.  This episode unveils  the barriers separating us. *I recommend listening to the prior episode for a fuller understanding of our Human Design Circuitry. To Support the production of Heart Sense please use the following Link. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1888298/support  Music by Native American musician: StandswithbearCD - BreathlessSong: Breathless www.standswithbear.comSponsor:Native Jewelry of Sedona Largest selection of authentic Native American jewelry in Arizona928-282-9100.  nativejewelrygallery.comFacebook: Native Jewelry of SedonaLocated in the second block of Uptown SedonaThe Copper Heart Art for Heart SenseArtist Catherine StefanavageWebsite:  iamcatherine.comEmail: iamcatherine16@gmail.com           Support the showA huge Thank You to all our Sponsors!

For thousands of years, Native Americans have quarried a sacred, soft red rock from a patch of Minnesota prairie. The site is now Pipestone National Monument. Reporter Jp Lawrence joins host Erica Pearson to share the story of this special place.

In Minnesota, Native Americans experience homelessness at a much higher rate than other racial or ethnic groups. Many Native people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in Minneapolis live in encampments, which have been criticized as areas ripe with violence and drug use. What to do with encampments — and whether to close them — has become a divisive issue in Minneapolis. The issue has risen to the forefront again following a shooting earlier this month at a homeless encampment in south Minneapolis that left one dead and six others injured.Joe Hobot is the CEO and president of the American Indian Opportunities and Industrialization Center in south Minneapolis and has a doctorate in education from Hamline University. He joined MPR News host Nina Moini to share his perspective.

The United States Department of Justice is suing Minnesota, Hennepin County, and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul over what it calls sanctuary policies, limits on local officials collaborating with ICE. A law professor joins us to talk about the case. A Native American community leader is calling for discussions about encampments and drug overdoses to include the people who've been hit hardest by these issues. We talk to him.Plus, neurodiversity is a concept that embraces differences in how peoples brains work. We learn how companies can include employees with ADHD, autism and other conditions. And we talk about the beloved Red Wing Environmental Learning Center, which turns 55 years old this weekend.The Minnesota Music Minute was “Halfway up the Lawn” by runo plum. The Song of the Day was “She's Everything” by JT & the Gunslingers.

HEADLINE: Runestones, Artifacts, and Modern Misappropriation BOOK TITLE: American Vikings: How the Norse Sailed into the Lands and Imaginations of America AUTHOR: Martyn Whittock 100 WORD SUMMARY: Following the translation of the sagas, runestones (e.g., Kensington in Minnesota) began appearing, primarily after 1865. These are almost certainly fakes created by newly arrived Scandinavian immigrants seeking to claim "prior title" to the land by asserting "Vikings were here first." The only artifact likely to be genuine is the Maine Penny (Goddard Coin), found at a Native American trading site in 1957. It was likely passed along Native American trade networks, indicating Norsecontact as far south as Maine.

The action by Republican Texas lawmakers to redraw congressional voting boundaries to favor Republican candidates has clear implications for the Alabama Coushatta Tribe of Texas. The new contorted boundaries put the tribe at least four times the distance away from their elected representative's base of operation. The Texas move has also spurred other states to do that same and voting advocates worry about losing hard-fought ground for Native voter representation at the polls. We'll look at what the latest potential problem areas are and how it relates to the midterm elections. Also, we'll talk with a New Mexico District Attorney Bernadine Martin (Diné). She is fighting to keep her job amid allegations of incompetence and misconduct. Martin is the only female Native American district attorney in the state. She says she is being unfairly targeted. GUESTS Cecilia Flores (Alabama-Coushatta), tribal council chairwoman of the Alabama Coushatta Tribe of Texas Nita Battise (Alabama-Coushatta), tribal council member of the Alabama Coushatta Tribe of Texas Lenny Powell (Hopland Band of Pomo Indians), Native American Rights Fund staff attorney Daniel McCool, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Utah Bernadine Martin (Diné), McKinley County District Attorney

The lens of perception--the part of human consciousness that experiences reality--is a core concept in virtually every spiritual and psychological tradition, from ancient Buddhism to Native American shamanism to Jungian psychology. Hal Zina Bennett proposes that if we can comprehend and harness this consciousness, we can shape our experiences and fulfill our greatest potential. By deconstructing the inner workings of the human mind, this skillfully written book unravels the Gordian knot of reality itself.

Among the informational signs flagged for review under the Trump administration's purge of “improper ideology” at National Parks is language at the Sitka National Monument Russian Bishop's House explaining how missionaries worked to destroy Indigenous cultures and languages in Alaska. A panel at Florida's Castillo de San Marcos National Monument is being questioned for including text about forced assimilation of imprisoned Native Americans. They are part of the ongoing review of parks, museums, and other institutions for information deemed disparaging to Americans.

From the week after a young family moved into a 1973 North Carolina home, the ordinary became inexplicable: deadbolts clunking with no visitor, booted footsteps down empty halls, thunderous booms that shook the ceiling, and scratching behind the walls with no trace of rodents. For listeners who love haunted house testimony, poltergeist phenomena, and first-person paranormal accounts, this episode is a steady, escalating portrait of domestic terror. Jonathon's narrative tracks years of small, maddening provocations: a shower curtain slammed open though no one stood in the tub, a Lionel train repeatedly knocked off its track while his bedroom door was locked, and a living-room curio cabinet that registered a baseball-bat smash with no broken glass. Neighbors later reported lights blazing and the sound of splintering wood while the house stood empty—incidents that sent his father back to the property with a pistol only to find nothing. The family eventually discovered Native American arrowheads and burial mounds on their land, a detail that reads like a classic haunted-house motif: disturbed ground, unresolved histories, and a place that remembers. #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouse #Poltergeist #Paranormal #ChildhoodHaunting #BurialMounds #SouthernGhosts #CreepyStory #HouseOfStrange #GhostlyEncounters #GhostEncounter #UnexplainedPhenomena Love real ghost stories?

Before we go back to 2018 for a discussion of the only Cubs general manager who was moonlighting from his job at the fish-market and a non-baseball tale, one of the more obscure and unflattering episodes of America's westward expansion, we discuss our need for a shared reality and one of the earliest conspiracy theories. How are you going to be here with us if you believe that we're being controlled by them?  The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. Baseball, America's brighter mirror, often reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman discusses the game's present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect history, politics, stats, and frequent Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

Send us a textNovember 29, 1864 dawned cold on the Colorado plains as Cheyenne and Arapaho families slept peacefully under an American flag—a gift promising protection. By nightfall, over 200 Native Americans lay dead in what would become one of the most shameful episodes in American history.The Sand Creek Massacre didn't happen in isolation. It grew from a toxic brew of broken treaties, gold rush fever, and political ambition. Once respected Cheyenne and Arapaho territories, recognized in the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie, were systematically stripped away as miners and settlers poured into Colorado. When tribes resisted this invasion, territorial officials seized their opportunity. Governor John Evans issued proclamations essentially authorizing the killing of any Native Americans, while Colonel John Chivington—a Methodist minister with political aspirations—assembled a regiment specifically to confront the "Indian problem."What makes this story particularly heartbreaking is that Chief Black Kettle and other peace-seeking leaders had been actively working with authorities, believing they were under military protection at Sand Creek. Instead, Chivington's troops unleashed unspeakable violence: women and children shot as they fled, bodies mutilated, scalps and body parts taken as souvenirs to be displayed in Denver theaters. As one witness testified: "It was hard to see little children on their knees have their brains beat out by men professing to be civilized."Though three federal investigations condemned the massacre in the strongest terms, justice remained elusive. Chivington escaped punishment by resigning his commission, while brave whistleblowers like Captain Silas Soule paid with their lives for speaking truth. The massacre transformed the American frontier, shattering trust between Native peoples and the government and igniting decades of intensified conflict across the plains.By exploring this difficult history, we confront uncomfortable truths about our nation's past and the human capacity for both cruelty and courage. Join us for Dr. Jeff Broom's upcoming presentation at the Dodge City Library on October 4th, where he'll examine the complex narratives surrounding this pivotal event through rigorous historical research and primary sources.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: Below the jump for that story on page A15, the headline is “SEC dropped a civil complaint against a former client of its Trump-picked chairman. In 2018,” the Times writes, “Paul Atkins was paid $1,450 an hour to be an expert witness by Devin Archer's lawyers as they tried to undermine accusations that their client defrauded a Native American tribal entity and others out of $60 million. While Mr. Archer was convicted anyway, he was pardoned by President Trump in March.” You could write a story about how Republicans would feel if the same fact pattern had unfolded under Joe Biden's SEC. But why bother? The question isn't how they feel about conflicts of interest. It's how they feel about Donald Trump. Please visit, read, and support INDIGNITY! https://www.indignity.net/

Key Points Robin Swan explains her indigenous background and lifelong experience with psychotropic substances through the Native American church, having used peyote since childhood and incorporating psilocybin into her apothecary practice since 2014.Psilocybin mushrooms grow on every continent making them an open practice for humanity, with mycelium mapping similarly to the human central nervous system and representing the first life form to emerge from water according to creation theory.Depression and brain cancers became the primary focus for incorporating psilocybin into Swan's practice because cannabis wasn't adequately addressing these conditions, particularly given that mushrooms create neuroplasticity and open new neural pathways.Working with NFL players and pro sports athletes for 15 years revealed that psilocybin significantly helped traumatic brain injury and concussion recovery where cannabis had limited effectiveness.One unnamed NFL commentator client with 12 concussions showed dramatic improvement within three weeks of psilocybin microdosing, regaining speech clarity, eliminating blank stares, and completely stopping massive migraines that pharmaceuticals couldn't treat.Different psilocybin mushroom varieties serve distinct therapeutic purposes, with cubensis being electric and external for traditional psychedelic experiences, while azurescens provide internal experiences that create neuroplasticity specifically beneficial for brain cancer patients.Clinical studies from Johns Hopkins University, Harvard, and Emory University have documented psilocybin's therapeutic potential across 170 studies covering treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, chronic pain, and immune system modulation.Parkinson's disease treatment with psilocybin shows remarkable results in reducing shakiness and mood swings while helping patients navigate daily challenges, while Alzheimer's patients become more fluid and maintain better memory connections.Psilocin, the active ingredient in psilocybin, remains active for only three days once extracted and requires specific ingestion methods, with lemon juice extraction providing faster onset within 15 minutes compared to capsules taking up to four hours.Swan Apothecary offers various psilocybin products including capsules, chocolate bars, lemon-extracted psilocin products, and a "hero dose" journey product containing 3.5 grams, all requiring two years of research and development before market release.Cannabis and psilocybin produce completely different experiences, with cannabis providing cannabinoid profiles while mushrooms maintain individual properties and create visions, heart-opening effects, and consciousness expansion that may have driven human evolution from apes.Common misconceptions about psilocybin include fears of wall-melting hallucinations and bad experiences, though the substance is safer than LSD as a natural fungus lasting 4-6 hours with potential weeks-long afterglow effects.Proper dosing and timing matter significantly for psilocybin effectiveness, with insufficient doses or full stomachs preventing activation, while the substance helps end-of-life patients live longer and have meaningful conversations with loved ones.Swan emphasizes that mushrooms help people embrace living in the present moment rather than fighting for future life, citing client Sally who lived nine years beyond her initial diagnosis and taught the importance of conscious, empowered living during terminal illness.

Wednesday morning, the Minnesota Board of Pardons voted to commute the sentence of Brian Pippitt, a Native American man convicted of murdering a convenience store owner in 1998. Pippitt has always maintained his innocence. Last year, the state's Conviction Review Unit recommended Pippitt be exonerated and released from prison. Native News reporter Melissa Olson was at the meeting and joins MPR News host Nina Moini to share more.

⁠⁠Support us on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---American troops descend into a humid jungle, sniped at from the trees from an invisible enemy. Unable to discern insurgents from civilians, the army begins burning villages and destroying entire communities. After years of failures on the battlefield, and extreme criticism of the war at home and abroad, American troops withdraw battered and beaten, leaving piles of native corpses in their wake. Sound familiar? This is the Second Seminole War, one of the largest conflicts fought on American soil and the bloodiest war waged against Native Americans.This episode of Gladio Free Europe continues our discussion on the conquest and settlement of the Sunshine State, with a focus on the violent but ultimately unsuccessful subjugation of the Seminole Nation. Though little-discussed in modern times, this brutal and genocidal struggle made Florida what it is today. The violent removal of thousands of Seminoles from Florida to Oklahoma would open up the peninsula to white settlement and the expansion of plantation slavery. By the outbreak of the Civil War, Florida would be an essential piece of the Southern economy. The circumstances of Seminole defeat, including the betrayal of Chief Osceola, would be a black stain the reputation of American military, President Andrew Jackson, and the United States at large. And while most Seminoles were deported, Seminole resistance would continue for the next century. Some reseilient Seminoles, led by people such as Billy Bowlegs, would stand their ground in the South Florida swamps until the present day. In Oklahoma, Seminoles like the black warrior John Horse would continue their struggle against colonization and and empire. Parallel to conflicts with the Seminoles, Florida history would be shaped by many enterprising eccentrics who sought to tame this wild country as they saw fit. Liam, Russian Sam, and Jackson discuss the careers of figures like Jean Lafitte, the New Orleans pirate who had a brief thassalocracy across the Gulf of Mexico, and Zepheniah Kingsley, a bizarre and contradictory Quaker planter who proclaimed the evils of racism while holding dozens of black slaves in bondage, and apparently styled himself not as a white planter but instead as a polygamist African chief. Listen to this latest episode of Gladio Free Europe to understand just why Florida is America's strangest state.Please forgive the audio glitches in this episode! Ending track is "Seminole," recorded by the Esso Steel Band of Bermuda in 1959.

Ready for a choose-your-own cosmic adventure? On this episode of Key Change, co-hosts Anna Garcia and Olga Perez Flora make way for old friends and new. Andrea Fellows Feinberg returns as guest host to introduce the creative team behind the intergalactic opera NOVA, a subversive meditation on responsibility and personal choice set against the end of the world––featuring Composer Brent Michael Davids, Librettist Marcie Rendon, and Music Director Sara Jobin. “We're gonna mess with the traditional opera genre of tragedies and comedies, do something interesting with it, and make two different endings,” confides Brent. He also messes with ideas around conventional sci-fi protagonists and cultural stereotypes. NOVA, for instance, is a brilliant Native American astrophysicist and head of NASA, the Native American Space Agency. Accompanying NOVA are her chief medical officer, Doc, and KID, a bionically modified mischief-maker. Brent hopes these narrative elements will inspire and empower Native youth. If the premise for NOVA sounds vaguely familiar, we teased its development in 2023. Back then, this Opera For All Voices commission was known as Interplanetary Opera. A lot has changed since then, notably the addition of Marcie and Sara, plus Andrea as the production's dramaturg. What hasn't changed is the show's existential ruminations or its humor. “I think that's something I love about this piece and that people might not expect,” notes Sara. “There's a lot of humor in it.” “It's Native humor,” Marcie clarifies. “I wasn't sure that anybody would get it.” A recent run-through alleviated her fears. “People did,” she says, “and that was great!” KEY CHANGE RECOMMENDED EPISODE Connections Across Time and Space: Opera in the Cosmos FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE Brent Michael Davids - Composer Marcie Rendon - Librettist Sara Jobin - Music Director Andrea Fellows Fineberg - Dramaturg and Key Change Guest Host  MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Hidden Figures Minnesota Children's Museum Red Eye Theater Clue  Christopher Hitchens Key Change is a production of The Santa Fe Opera, Department of Community Engagement & Education.

What if loyalty, not rebellion, was the default position in revolutionary British North America? It's easy to forget that before 1776, most colonists identified as proud Britons. They didn't see themselves as future Americans or revolutionaries; they saw themselves as subjects of a global empire. And in the colony of Georgia, many clung to that identity longer than we might expect. Greg Brooking, a historian of the American Revolution in the South and a high school history and social studies teacher, joins us to explore the American Revolution in Georgia with details from his book From Empire to Revolution: Sir James Wright and the Price of Loyalty in Georgia.

What's up theology nerds! On this episode, I had the absolute privilege of sitting down with Dr. Grant Wacker, one of America's preeminent historians of religion, and man did he deliver. We dove deep into his fascinating "Bushman test" - the idea that when writing history, you should do so with the understanding that you might someday encounter your subjects in heaven. That framework of being both critical and sympathetic really animated our whole conversation. But here's the kicker - I asked Grant to reflect on the defining moments in American religion as we approach our 250th anniversary, and he came back with 11 (not 10!) pivotal moments that have shaped who we are religiously as a nation. From the expansionist impulse of colonization to the power of renewal movements, from the subjection of Native Americans to the role of reform theology, Grant unpacked these threads with the wisdom that only comes from decades of wrestling with this stuff. We also got into his work on Billy Graham, the birth of Pentecostalism, and how technology has revolutionized religious movements. This is the kind of conversation that helps you understand not just where American religion came from, but where it might be headed. Grab your coffee and settle in - this one's worth savoring.
