Dear Friends,

We’ve all heard the warning: Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

But Michael Hamilton believes there’s more at stake than avoiding the mistakes of the past. For Christians, understanding history can deepen our faith, strengthen our convictions and better prepare us to lead in the future.

On the latest episode of The Family Policy Alliance Report, recorded live at SoConCon 2026, Michael, founder and CEO of Sojourn, joins Grace Youngson to talk about what happens when we stop treating history as something that happened long ago and start seeing how it shapes the world we live in today.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

• What happened when Christians walked the same ground as the apostles — and why one pastor wished he’d done it 20 years earlier
• The difficult questions about America’s Founders that Michael says Christians shouldn’t be afraid to confront
• Why simply telling our children what to believe may not prepare them for the competing worldviews they’ll face
• What Michael has seen happen when people experience history in the places where it actually unfolded
• How a deeper understanding of the past can change the way we lead in our families, churches and communities

History isn’t just about where we’ve been. It can help us understand who we are, what we believe and how we move forward.

Watch the conversation to hear why Michael believes learning the past can equip us to lead the future.
