So Help Me God? Dr. Lillback Talks Oaths and Reacts to NYC Mayor’s Quran Swearing In | Ep. 152

What happens when a nation drifts from the transcendent moral authority that once bound its oaths and leaders? Dr. Peter Lillback — president of Westminster Theological Seminary, acclaimed historian, and author of George Washington’s Sacred Fire — sits down with Rob Pacienza for a profound, eye-opening discussion on the theology and history of oaths, why the Bible has been central to American civic life, and the implications of modern departures from that tradition in our fractured culture TODAY.

You’ll hear about:
● The biblical meaning of swearing an oath before God and why it demands absolute accountability
● George Washington’s historic inauguration on the Bible in New York City
● How Mayor Zohran Mamdami’s swearing in symbolizes a rejection of America’s founding moral consensus and raise questions about trust, liberty, and the future of the republic

If you’ve ever wondered how God’s Word has shaped civic trust and why Christians must engage in public life as salt and light, you need to tune in.
