The Pilgrims built America on a covenant with God—not a contract. Here's why it still matters.


In this episode of the Under God Podcast, Pastor Daniel Hayworth unpacks how the Pilgrims turned a deadly voyage into a generational covenant—and why Christian self-government begins with responsibility, not rights. Perfect for the commute, the gym, or the drive, this is the covenant theology and history behind the Mayflower Compact.


You'll Learn:

✅ Why the Pilgrims came to build God's kingdom, not just to flee persecution

✅ How covenant reshapes identity, from a family name to a whole nation

✅ Why the Pilgrims' communal experiment failed—and what Scripture says about stewardship


📖 Deuteronomy 29; Exodus 19:5–6; Hebrews 12:1–2
