Summary
I just returned from Washington, D.C., after touring the U.S. Capitol with Speaker Mike Johnson, and I walked away more convinced than ever that America's Christian heritage isn't a myth—it's written into the very fabric of our nation. From biblical artwork and Scripture throughout the Capitol to the faith that shaped our Founders, the evidence is hiding in plain sight. I'll also share why Christians must engage in this cultural moment with courage, truth, and biblical discernment instead of fear or outrage. If we want to preserve the freedoms we've been given, we have to remember the foundation they were built on.

| 0:00.0 | Well, hey, you guys, welcome to the Heidi St. John podcast. It's good to see you. Listen, we're living |
| 0:05.8 | in an incredible time right now. I just got back from Washington, D.C. and my husband and I |
| 0:10.2 | flew out there on Monday morning to spend some time with Speaker Mike Johnson at the Capitol for a |
| 0:15.8 | tour for podcasters and media influencers who love the Lord, several well-known pastors were there, |
| 0:23.1 | some really amazing people, including my friend Josh McPherson from Wenatchie, Washington, |
| 0:27.8 | and his wife. My friend Katie Faust was there. Anyways, a bunch of us. I'm going to be talking |
| 0:31.7 | about that in just a second. But I think this is a really important time for us to have this |
| 0:37.2 | conversation because our nation is at a crossroads. |
| 0:41.1 | We are literally at a crossroads. |
| 0:42.7 | We're living in a time when a lot of Americans are being told that faith, particularly the Christian faith, had little or nothing to do with the founding of this nation. |
| 0:52.1 | And when people tell you guys that, they're lying to you. |
| 0:55.5 | History is a stubborn thing. |
| 0:57.3 | It doesn't change just because the culture wants it to. |
| 1:00.6 | And so today I'm going to take you inside the United States Capitol because the walls |

| 1:23.4 | around. I think you're going to be encouraged. Well, thank you guys for showing up. By the way, I keep hearing from many of you who are listening to the show. |
| 1:49.0 | It was an absolute thrill for me to be in our nation's capital on Monday and on Tuesday morning. |
| 1:55.8 | I got to have breakfast with my dear friend, Congressman Mary Miller, from the great state of Illinois. |
| 2:01.5 | And it was fun for me to be in her kitchen with her husband and two of their friends who |
| 2:06.2 | are visiting and listen to her read the 25th Psalm before she headed out to Capitol Hill |
