What if the story you were taught about America’s founding is only half true? Today, the record gets a fair hearing. In Episode 4 of The Battle Is On series, Tom Sears asks one of the biggest questions in the culture war: was America built on faith, or is that just a story Christians tell? One side says we were a Christian nation, period. The other says the founders were skeptics and the country was secular from day one. Tom walks through the actual record, and he is honest where it gets complicated. You will hear about: A morning in New York, April 30, 1789. George Washington’s first act as President was a public prayer, and the new government walked to St. Paul’s Chapel to worship. The version you were probably taught. Jefferson, Paine, and Franklin’s doubts are real, but so are Witherspoon, Samuel Adams, Roger Sherman, and Charles Carroll. Washington’s own words. His Thanksgiving proclamation and his Farewell Address, plus an honest look at the Valley Forge prayer story. Franklin and the failing Convention. His 1787 call for prayer, Psalm 127:1, and what happened to his motion. The Black Robe Regiment. The patriot preachers who helped shape a revolution.What the documents actually say about God. The Declaration, the Constitution, the First Amendment, and early state constitutions. A city upon a hill. Winthrop, Lincoln’s 1863 day of prayer, and 2 Chronicles 7:14. Why this history matters right now. The battle is first a battle for the story, and the people who tell it shape the next generation. This series is built chapter by chapter around Tom’s new book, The Battle Is On: America’s New Civil War.

Episode 113 — That Didn't Sound Like You Have you ever noticed how some pastors sound completely different when they step behind a pulpit? There's nothing wrong with passionate preaching. But what happens when the pastor becomes the performance? In Episode 113 of Pastors in Recovery, Jon Hammond explores the difference between communicating with passion and trying to become someone we're not.Through an entertaining opening drama and four personal stories from his years in ministry, Jon shares how admiring evangelist Rich Wilkerson influenced his own preaching style—and how three unexpected confrontations challenged what he believed about giftedness, spiritual anointing, and authenticity. From a junior high girl's unforgettable criticism to an older evangelist's warning about relying on talent instead of God, these experiences reveal a lesson that took decades to understand. Using the biblical account of David refusing Saul's armor in 1 Samuel 17, Jon reminds ministry leaders that God doesn't call us to imitate someone else's personality. In this episode: - The difference between passion and performance - Why giftedness can become a substitute for dependence on God - Learning to receive correction without becoming defensive - The connection between authenticity, humility, and recovery - Discovering the freedom to be yourself in ministry The question: When was the last time you felt comfortable just being yourself?

Episode 110 - His Strength Is Perfect… Is Ours? We love the promise of 2 Corinthians 12:9–10: God’s power is made perfect in weakness. But do we sometimes live as though we provide most of the horsepower and God simply gives us a boost when our own strength isn’t enough? In this episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon uses cars, hybrids, electric vehicles, transmissions, and gears to explore the difference between depending on God and merely asking Him to supplement our own strength.But dependence doesn’t mean doing nothing. James reminds us that faith moves. We still show up. We preach. We lead. We work the steps. We make the call. We take the next right step. Jon shares moments from his own ministry when he didn’t feel strong enough to preach, teach, or lead at Celebrate Recovery—yet he showed up, engaged the gears, and experienced God providing what he needed. Maybe the question isn’t simply whether we’re strong or weak.Where does the power come from—and are we willing to put it in gear?
