Q: What is it about Christianity that tends to cohere well with this notion of liberty?
Christianity emphasizes the dignity of human beings created in the image of God, which supports freedom under law.
A Light on the Hill
Q: What surprised you about Capitol Hill Baptist Church's history?

A Light on the Hill
Q: How did the book come about?
Caleb shares that the book idea emerged during the COVID pandemic when he looked into his church's archives to see how they responded during the Spanish flu, which led to the discovery of valuable historical lessons.

Q: Why do you think so many parents, particularly Christian parents, give in to smartphone pressures?
The appeal of moderation leads parents to believe they can protect their children while still allowing smartphone use, which ultimately makes the situation worse.
