   At 250 Years: The Seeds of Revolution

   In the 18th century, the American colonies became more confident, connected, and willing to challenge inherited authority. Explore how Benjamin Franklin and the American Enlightenment, Jonathan Edwards and the Great Awakening, George Whitefield’s celebrity preaching, and Britain’s victory in the Seven Years’ War transformed colonial life. Together, these powerful movements reshaped American ideas about faith, reason, liberty, and authority—and planted the seeds of the American Revolution.

   Logos Theater 300: Oppenheimer

   In this episode, we examine Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, exploring the film’s portrayal of ambition, guilt, and the creation of the atomic bomb. We also consider nuclear deterrence, the morality of ending war through mass destruction, and how Christians might evaluate these difficult choices through just war theory.

   At 250 Years: Colonies and Commerce

   In this episode, I explore the complicated beginnings of English America, from Jamestown’s struggle for survival and tobacco wealth to New England’s covenantal vision and the religious diversity of the Middle Colonies. Along the way, we trace how profit, faith, migration, slavery, and empire shaped the colonies from the start, revealing a world marked by both noble ideals and deep moral contradictions.
