Summary

If the notion that “God helps those who help themselves” isn’t in the Bible, why does it still figure so prominently in the experience of American evangelicals? What is the sentiment behind this notion, and where does it come from? In this episode, Dan explores these issues and argues that while the phrase itself may not be in the Bible, the sentiment behind it is pervasive within American evangelical subculture.
