One Nation Under God Part 8: Pulpits, Sermons, and the Road to Independence

Colonial pulpits started the road to independence, not the battlefield.

In this episode, Pastor Nathan Brown walks through the colonial pulpits that shaped the American founding: the Black Robe Regiment preachers who taught Romans 13, the election sermons preached straight to governing assemblies, and a theology that treated liberty as a gift from God. Those colonial pulpits were the engine of the Revolution, not a footnote to it — what was preached in the colonial pulpits went straight into the Declaration of Independence. Perfect for the commute or the gym.

You'll Learn:

✅ Why silence is complicity, not neutrality

✅ What Romans 13 actually teaches about civil authority

✅ How the 1954 Johnson Amendment muzzled American pastors

✅ Four ways any Christian can recover the prophetic role

📖 Ezekiel 33:6-9, Acts 5:29, Romans 13:4, Isaiah 58:1, Amos 5:24
