| 0:00.0 | Hello there and welcome to the thinking fellows podcast. My name is Caleb and today I am joined by a full table of fellows from the 1517 Thinking Fellowship. I'm joined by Dr. Scott Keith, Adam Francisco, Rod Rosenblot, and Dan VanVorris. We are doing as promised because I've been actually hyping this up for the last three or four weeks on the thinking fellows and today we're going to do our first episode on the history of Christianity |
| 0:42.9 | in America. Dan actually reached out to me with this idea and I thought it was sort of a great |
| 0:48.4 | follow up to what we did in the Reformation series. We're skipping a chunk of time, a little bit of a chunk of time, because we're moving |
| 0:57.0 | from Europe over to the new world, so to be. You'd be surprised how little time we're actually |
| 1:01.9 | skipping ahead. That's great. When you put everything back and back, all of a sudden you start to |

| 1:54.8 | And so it's going to be, I think it's going to be a really good one. |
| 1:58.2 | And we've never done anything like this on the show. |
| 2:00.7 | We've done a lot of Reformation stuff. So it's going to be a really good one. And we've never done anything like this on the show. We've done a lot of Reformation stuff. |
| 2:02.8 | So it's going to be exciting. |
