This week, Jason interviews Christopher Webber, author of "American to the Backbone," the story of James Pennington, who escaped from slavery in 1827 and soon became one of the leading voices against slavery prior to the Civil War. You'll hear about Pennington's journey from slavery to freedom, from scared and illiterate to a Christ-follower and Yale scholar. Learn what Pennington meant when he frequently discussed "the moral providence of God" as well as the culture of the early 19th century. Be encouraged by James' story as you listen today.
