Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian step into the origins of America in celebration of the approaching 250th anniversary. The guys explore the courage, faith, and conviction that drove a small group of people to leave everything behind in search of religious freedom. As they walk through the Pilgrims’ journey, the harsh realities of the Mayflower, and the formation of America’s first self-governance, they reflect on overlooked stories of faith, bravery and how the American spirit was forged through both belief and struggle.

More about Colonial America:
Professors of history and politics guide us through the perilous journey of the Mayflower and the grueling winters of Cape Cod. They explore the ideas of religious liberty and natural rights, as well as the brutal conflicts, such as the wars on the frontier and the French and Indian War. Through this six-lesson appreciation of the colonial experience, you will learn how the unique American spirit was shaped.
