A Light on the Hill

ALLIANCE OF CONFESSING EVANGELICALS
About this episode

The dynamic duo of Todd and Carl engage in a fascinating discussion with Caleb Morell, assistant pastor at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., and author of the book, A Light on the Hill: The Surprising Story of How a Local Church in the Nation's Capital Influenced Evangelicalism. They explore the rich history of Capitol Hill Baptist Church, located just blocks away from the center of American power, its rich 150-year history, and its significant influence on evangelicalism in America. 

Caleb shares insights into the church's resilience, its response during historical challenges, and the importance of faithfulness to the gospel in a changing cultural landscape. 

There’s something really practical to take away from history. – Caleb Morell

Don't miss this enlightening conversation that will encourage listeners to invest in their local churches and preserve the gospel for the next generation.

We are pleased to offer three listeners a copy of Caleb’s book, courtesy of our friends at Crossway Books. Enter here for the opportunity to win.
