  • What Happened to the 56 Men Who Signed the Declaration of Independence? with @BillFederer
    by Cross Examined on July 3, 2026 at 6:00 pm

    Earlier this week, historian Bill Federer joined Frank to explore the biblical ideas that shaped the foundation of America. In this follow-up conversation, Bill returns to bring the Declaration of Independence's most influential figures to life through their faith, their sacrifices, and the extraordinary stories of divine providence that many believed shaped America's fight for independence. Join Frank and Bill as they answer questions like: --Who was John Witherspoon and what role did he play in America's fight for independence? --What role did different denominations play in the formation of the 13 original colonies? --How can we sum up Judeo-Christian Western civilization in America using only one word? --Why do some people claim that it was a miracle (at least providential) how traitor Benedict Arnold was caught? --What happened after the Battle of Cowpens in 1781 that had even a British officer calling the rising and falling waters that aided the Americans β€œalmost miraculous”? --What happened to Richard Stockton, Carter Braxton, and the rest of the 56 Founding Fathers? --What sacrifices did the Founding Fathers make after signing the Declaration of Independence and what ultimate price did some of them pay? --What's the shocking history of British starving ships? --What can we learn from the Founders' courage and convictions as we seek to preserve the freedoms they fought so hard to secure? John Adams once wrote, "Posterity, you will never know how much it costs the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it." We need to preserve it, ladies and gentlemen, and the way you can do that is get informed and to stand up.

  • Who Gave You Your Rights? The America 250 Debate
    by Cross Examined on July 1, 2026 at 7:00 pm

    Who gave you your rights? Government? Politicians? Judges? Or something higher? As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, a fierce debate is raging over our nation's true foundation. Critics argue that the Constitution proves we were never a Christian nation, claiming our rights simply come from "being human." But if human rights are granted by other humans, what’s stopping a government from taking them away? In this exclusive 1-minute promo trailer, we look at the clash of ideas between secular voices like Bill Maher, Andrew Seidel, and Cenk Uygur, and the foundational perspective shared by Frank Turek. The real question we need to ask isn't just, "Was America a Christian nation?" It's this: Where did the Founders believe our rights come from?

  • Deist or Christian: Who Were the 56 Men Who Founded America? with @BillFederer
    by Cross Examined on June 30, 2026 at 11:00 pm

    How did America REALLY begin? As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, claims that the Founding Fathers were mostly deists and that Christianity had little influence on America's founding have become increasingly common. But does the historical record support those claims, or are misinformed pundits trying to rewrite our past while jeopardizing our future? Joining Frank to set the record straight is the one-and-only, @BillFederer, author and founder of American Minute. Together, Frank and Bill unpack the biblical ideas that shaped America's founding, explore what made the American experiment so revolutionary, and examine why so many misconceptions about the Founders persist today. Tune in as they answer questions like: -- Who was the first globalist in the history of the world according to the Bible? -- Why did the founders want to escape the ruling of King George? -- Where did America's Founders get the idea that they could rule themselves without a king? -- How was this idea different from the Roman Republic? -- Do our rights come from God or the government? -- How do we know the founders were Bible-believing Christians and not deists? -- Who pioneered the concept of different Christian denominations living together in the same geographic area? -- What event led up to the first Continental Congress? -- What makes America's constitutional republic so unique in world history? -- What did Benjamin Franklin REALLY think about Christianity? This conversation is only the beginning! Bill returns on Friday's episode to share astonishing stories of God's providence throughout American history--from unlikely victories to moments that seem almost impossible to explain.
