This week we discuss what God’s supremacy means for earthly governance, how we can love our country while being truthful about its imperfections, and how re-learning U.S. and world history from a Christian perspective helped me grow in my faith and understanding of God.

Recommended resources:
Pagan Christianity, Frank Viola
Worth reading if you don’t agree with him, it actually really softened my heart to institutional church history into the revival movements of the U.S. and is a great snapshot of church history if it’s new to you.
Live Not By Lies, Rod Dreher
A look at what it was like to be a member of the Christian resistance behind the Iron Curtain; it is mandatory reading for any believer living in today’s current cultural climate in my very humble opinion.
The Right Side of History, Ben Shapiro
Whether you are a fan of Shapiro or not, he nonetheless delivers an excellent overview of Western civilization and thought that is a great antidote to modern revisionist history.
The Patriot’s History of the United States, Larry Schweikart, Michael Allen
I was always looking for the anti-The People’s History of the United States, which was written by Howard Zinn and inspired much of the population’s general distortion of U.S. history
America, Dinesh D’Souza
D’Souza is a Christian who immigrated to the United States from India as a young man. His refutation of left-wing revisionist history is not free of his own perspective, but it is both passionate and excellent.
101 Bible Verses That Shaped America, Robert J. Morgan
This is a wonderful work of both history and devotion and gives a great look at just how much faith indeed did define the paradigm of many of our nation’s great leaders.
