They sat on seemingly opposite ends of the spiritual spectrum: Benjamin Franklin, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, a man of science and reason, and George Whitefield, a man of God who ignited a religious revival in the 1700's called "The Great Awakening." Yet Divine Providence brought them together to form an unlikely friendship and partnership. Franklin printed Whitefield's sermons and writings, while Whitefield preached to thousands in the open air of the relationship they are called to have with Jesus Christ. Their union launched an awakening that Director Joshua Enck says helped to strengthen the faith foundation of America, and the belief that liberty is not granted by an earthly king but by God Almighty. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Enck talks about the Sight & Sound film, "A Great Awakening" opening in theaters on Good Friday, and shares what spurred him to take on the project to coincide with the 250th Anniversary of America's founding, as well as the awakening that is needed today.

Easter celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead; it is the cornerstone of Christianity. But what's more, it's what gives Christianity its power, 'incomparably great power.' For too long many Christian churches have treated the miracle of the Resurrection as something akin to the frosting on the cake or a high-five in the end-zone. It's celebrated once a year, but pastor and theologian Dr. Timothy Keller says the Resurrection is something we can and should live out daily. For if the Resurrection happened, it changes everything, "how we conduct relationship, our attitudes toward wealth and power, how we work in our vocations, our understanding and practice of sexuality, race relations, and justice." On this special Easter episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Keller, a best-selling author, talks about his new book, "Hope in Times of Fear: The Resurrection and the Meaning of Easter." In it, he explores why the Resurrection gives the world still suffering from a pandemic, a hope for the past, present and future; that it makes Christianity "a historical, reasonable, and gracious faith; and that it is Heaven come to earth to begin the 'restoration of the natural order,' the world that God intended. Keller writes, "The Bible's startling message is that when Jesus rose, he brought the future kingdom of God into the present. It is not here fully but it is here substantially."
