In this warm Home and Family episode, Karen Whiting invites viewers into her kitchen to make Sally Lunn bread, a colonial-era yeast bread connected with American Revolutionary history. She shares the recipe process, explains how yeast works, and reflects on the biblical symbolism of leaven, bread, and resurrection hope.

Karen also explores tea customs in colonial America, including children’s tea sets, hospitality, etiquette, and patriotism during the American Revolution. The episode closes with inspiring historical stories of Mary Draper and Christopher Ludvig, who used bread-making to serve soldiers and support the patriot cause.

In This Episode:

Karen discusses:

• The colonial history and legends surrounding Sally Lunn bread
• How to make Sally Lunn bread with yeast, milk, butter, eggs, sugar, salt, and flour
• Why yeast must be proofed and how it helps bread rise
• The difference between yeast as a symbol of corruption and yeast as a picture of growth
• Biblical connections to bread, including 1 Peter 1:3 and John 6:35
• Jesus as the Bread of Life and the source of eternal life
• Colonial tea customs, children’s tea sets, hospitality, and etiquette
• Tea as a tool for teaching patriotism during the American Revolution
• Stories of Mary Draper baking bread for Continental soldiers
• Christopher Ludvig’s service as baker for the Continental Army

Featured Scriptures:

• 1 Peter 1:3 — Born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
• Genesis 3 — Adam, labor, and bread by the sweat of his brow
• John 6:35 — Jesus declares, “I am the bread of life”
• John 6:51 — Jesus as the living bread from heaven
• Leviticus 26:26; Ezekiel 4:16; Ezekiel 5:16 — The staff of bread

Key Takeaway:

Bread is more than food. In Scripture, history, and family life, bread points to provision, fellowship, hospitality, sacrifice, and ultimately to Jesus Christ, the true Bread of Life.

Call to Action:

Make Sally Lunn bread with your family, talk about how yeast works, share tea or bread with someone, and take time this week to reflect on Jesus as your daily bread.

In this episode of Kingdom Crossroads, TS Wright welcomes filmmaker Andrew Linn for a timely conversation on America’s Judeo-Christian foundations, religious liberty, and the often-misunderstood phrase “separation of church and state.”

Andrew shares his personal faith journey as a half-Jewish believer in Jesus, his background in documentary filmmaking, and the heart behind his new film on Roger Williams, Church and State, and the founding of freedom of religion in America. The discussion explores how early American colonies often had state-supported denominations, why Baptists and other dissenters pushed for true liberty of conscience, and how Roger Williams helped shape a vision of religious freedom rooted in Scripture rather than secularism.

TS and Andrew also discuss the difference between freedom of religion and freedom from religion, the influence of biblical morality on America’s founding, and why Christians should understand and engage the public square without advocating for a theocracy.

Andrew Linn’s background, faith journey, and documentary work.

Roger Williams and the founding of Rhode Island.

The true historical meaning of separation of church and state.

The Danbury Baptists and Thomas Jefferson’s famous letter.

Why religious liberty was meant to protect faith, not remove it from public life.

The Puritans, the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and early colonial theocracy.

Freedom of conscience, soul liberty, and biblical arguments for religious freedom.

America as a republic rooted in law, liberty, and Judeo-Christian moral foundations.

Why Christians should understand history as America approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Andrew Linn is a filmmaker and documentary producer whose work includes Fearless Freddy, a documentary about a World War II submariner, and a new documentary exploring Roger Williams, church and state, and the founding of religious liberty in America. In the episode, Andrew describes himself as a half-Jewish believer in Jesus who came to faith in his early twenties and later pursued documentary filmmaking.

Religious liberty was not established to drive God out of public life. It was established to keep the state from controlling the conscience, coercing worship, or dictating doctrine. As America reflects on its founding, this episode calls believers to recover the historical and biblical foundations of freedom.

The conversation also highlights the reality of spiritual warfare—not only at the individual level, but also in families, communities, cities, states, nations, and the world.

In this episode of Kingdom Crossroads, TS Wright welcomes author, speaker, ministry connector, and content coordinator Karen Whiting. Karen serves on the board of directors for the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association and helps connect Christian writers and speakers with ministry opportunities.

Karen shares how God redirected her life from mathematics into writing, teaching her to simply say “yes” and trust Him to equip her for the work He called her to do. She explains how that obedience led to multiple book contracts and a ministry of writing resources for families, military households, women, and believers seeking peace and purpose.

The conversation highlights Karen’s book Stories of Faith and Courage from the Home Front, which features one story per day from 1755 to 2012, focusing on women, families, and children during America’s wars rather than the battles themselves. Karen shares remarkable stories of courage, including women who served as spies, supporters, fundraisers, and protectors during the American Revolution.

TS and Karen also discuss 52 Weekly Devotions for Families Called to Serve, a devotional designed for military families, first responders, missionaries, and others who live lives of service. Karen offers practical encouragement for families facing deployment, separation, uncertainty, and hardship, reminding listeners to trust God and cherish the moments they have together.

The episode concludes with a look at Growing a Peaceful Heart, Karen’s devotional focused on inner peace, peace in relationships, and becoming peacemakers in the world. Karen closes by encouraging listeners to celebrate the freedoms we have and thank God for them.

In this episode of Kingdom Crossroads, T.S. Wright welcomes back author and speaker Lori Wildenberg to discuss her book Grandparents Make Grandpartners and the powerful role grandparents can play in discipling their grandchildren.

Lori explains that discipleship does not have to feel intimidating. At its core, discipleship means training, guiding, and helping the next generation know Jesus. She encourages grandparents to begin with prayer, asking the Lord for wisdom, words, timing, and opportunities to speak into the lives of their grandchildren. She also emphasizes the importance of being grounded in Scripture so that faith conversations can happen naturally and biblically.

• Why grandparents are uniquely positioned to disciple their grandchildren
• How prayer creates the foundation for spiritual influence
• Why grandparents do not need to have every answer before beginning
• The importance of learning Scripture together with grandchildren
• Prayer prompts for grandchildren’s faith, character, friendships, purpose, courage, discernment, and protection
• Organic discipleship through everyday conversations
• Structured discipleship through traditions, prayer, Scripture, and intentional activities
• Teaching children that they are created in the image of God
• Helping grandchildren see God as Creator through creation and daily life
• The difference between evangelism and discipleship
• Why discipleship has lasting generational impact
