Unscrolled

Was the Bible really behind the Declaration of Independence? Historian Dr. Thomas Kidd, Research Professor of Church History and the John and Sharon Yeats Endowed Chair of Baptist Studies at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, joins Unscrolled. Tune in to explore how the Bible may have quietly shaped the American Revolution, not through open declarations of faith, but through language, allusion, and assumptions baked into everyday life.

Join us for this episode of Unscrolled with Justin Giboney — author, attorney, civic leader, and founder of the AND Campaign — to explore what the gospel has to say about justice, moral order, and why Christians don't have to choose between the two. In this conversation, Justin shares what it means to engage politics with biblical grounding, courage, and a witness that points people to Christ rather than to a party — drawing from his new book, “Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around,” and the civil rights generation as a model for today.

What's the difference between banana soup and banana pudding? According to Allie Beth Stuckey, it's the same difference between being right and being righteous in how you communicate, and it might be the most important thing many people get wrong today.  
Allie Beth is the host of the “Relatable” podcast and author of “You're Not Enough” and New York Times bestseller “Toxic Empathy.” In this conversation, she opens up about her upbringing and how faith and politics converged in her work. She shares what she actually believes about truth, womanhood, and what the Bible says about the chaos of modern culture. Join in for a great conversation.

Most people would panic . . . but Butch Wilmore did a backflip. NASA astronaut and retired Navy captain Barry “Butch” Wilmore spent 286 unplanned days aboard the International Space Station after the Boeing Starliner lost thruster control on approach.  

 
Tune in as Capt. Wilmore opens up about the moment he knew he wasn't coming home, missing family milestones 250 miles up, and the Scripture that carried him through it all with contentment. From a small town in Tennessee to the left seat of only the sixth first flight of a crewed spacecraft in NASA history, this is a story about determination, faith, and what it looks like to trust God at 17,500 miles per hour.

Most people don't know that for decades, 75% of the Dead Sea Scrolls never saw the light of day. In this episode, Professor Lawrence Schiffman of NYU unpacks the messy human story behind why, how most Bible scholars still ignore the scrolls entirely, and how he spent his career fighting against the Christianization of these ancient Jewish texts. Tune in and hear it all and more — straight from one of the world's leading Dead Sea Scrolls scholars.

Lawrence H. Schiffman, PhD, is the Judge Abraham Lieberman Professor of Hebrew and Judaic Studies at New York University and Director of the Global Institute for Advanced Research in Jewish Studies.
