Tim Barton (WallBuilders) joins Pastor Josh McPherson with the most explosive history lesson you’ll hear all year. In this raw, on-location episode filmed one block from the White House, they unpack the REAL Black Robe Regiment — the pastors who literally won the American Revolution. You were lied to in school. Jefferson wasn’t a godless deist. Lincoln’s story is twisted. And the Founding Fathers quoted the Bible 40-50% of the time. Pastors didn’t just pray — they preached revolution, raised militias, fought with hymn books as ammo, and wrote the Bill of Rights.
Tim reveals:
• The pastor who ripped off his black robe mid-sermon to reveal a Continental Army uniform
• The “Fighting Parson” who loaded muskets with Isaac Watts hymnals and said “Give ’em Watts, boys!”
• The 50-year-old Yale pastor who stood alone on a hill firing at the British and told the officer, “I’m practicing my right of war!”
If you’re a pastor, father, or patriot who wants to understand why America exists and what’s at stake right now, this is required listening.
