  • Can America Survive Another 250 Years?

    Can America Survive Another 250 Years?
    Jul 8 2026
    The republic is not lost. But it will not be saved by those who are comfortable.

    In the series finale of "250 Years: Did We Keep the Republic?" Tom Sears brings it all home with the hardest question of the series: can America survive another 250 years? And if the answer is yes, what is God requiring of this generation to make it happen?

    Tom opens with three moments from history that tell the same story in three different centuries. King Josiah, who discovered the lost Book of the Law and tore his robes in grief before leading the greatest national renewal in Israel's history. Nehemiah, who wept over broken walls and then rebuilt them in 52 days. And Jeremiah Lanphier, a New York businessman who opened a room on Fulton Street in 1857, invited people to pray during their lunch hour, and watched it become a revival that swept one million souls into the kingdom in two years. Three ordinary people. Three desperate prayers. Three national turning points.

    Then Tom gets specific. Not inspirational-poster specific. Practically, actionably specific. What does genuine revival actually look like in 2026? What are the five things every listener can do starting this week to be part of the answer rather than part of the problem? And what does Esther 4:14 have to say to a generation living at the most critical hinge point in American history?

    Tom closes the series the way he opened it, with four words that have driven every episode. Did we keep it? His answer is honest, sobering, and full of hope.

  • The Erasing of America's Heritage

    The Erasing of America's Heritage
    Jul 1 2026
    If you want to defeat a people, you don't have to destroy their army. You just have to make them forget who they are.

    In Part 3 of "250 Years: Did We Keep the Republic?" Tom Sears exposes the systematic effort to erase America's Christian heritage and how remarkably successful it has been. It didn't happen with book burnings or dramatic declarations. It happened in three quiet stages: omission, reframing, and replacement. And by the time most people noticed, an entire generation had already been shaped by the new version of the story.

    Tom walks through the 1994 National History Standards that mentioned George Washington exactly once while dedicating dozens of references to McCarthyism and the KKK. He addresses the slavery argument head-on and shows why Frederick Douglass, a man who had every reason to reject the founding documents, called the Constitution a glorious liberty document and wielded it against the very injustice it had failed to prevent. He examines how Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, every one of them founded with an explicitly Christian purpose, became the engines of the secular worldview that now dominates every major American institution.

    And then Tom says the thing nobody wants to hear. The erasure didn't happen only because of hostile forces outside the church. It happened because the church retreated. The schools, the universities, the media, the legal system, the public square, ground surrendered not because the enemy was stronger, but because the people of God didn't show up.

    Salt that stays in the salt shaker preserves nothing.

  • What They Built and What We Lost

    What They Built and What We Lost
    Jun 25 2026
    They didn't just write a Constitution. They built a moral architecture — and we've been dismantling it for 60 years.

    In Part 2 of "250 Years: Did We Keep the Republic?" Tom Sears walks through the three pillars the Founders built this nation on: the sanctity of the individual conscience, the necessity of virtue in the governed, and the covenant nature of the American experiment.

    These weren't political theories; they were biblical convictions. And Washington, Adams, Madison, and Lincoln all said the same thing in different ways: without God, the republic cannot stand.

    Then Tom asks the harder question. What happened to those pillars? From the prosperity of the Industrial Revolution to the theological liberalism that gutted the mainline churches, to the Supreme Court decisions of 1962 and 1963 that removed prayer and Bible reading from public schools, the unraveling didn't happen overnight. It happened the way it always does. Slowly. Quietly. One compromise at a time.

    This episode also puts a human face on the cost of the founding, men like Thomas Nelson Jr., who ordered his own cannons fired on his own home rather than let it shelter the enemy, and Carter Braxton, who died in poverty having given everything to the cause. They signed that document knowing the price. The question Tom leaves you with: what are we willing to pay?
