Saddling Up for the Gospel: The Circuit Riders

Join Caleb, Emma, and Penny as they journey back in time to the muddy trails of the early American frontier—where the Gospel didn’t ride in on wagons, but on horseback.

In this powerful episode of The History Passport, the siblings meet Nate Walker, a 15-year-old preacher’s apprentice tasked with organizing a massive camp meeting when everything goes wrong. With flooding, rowdy guests, and a missing preacher—and horse!—Nate must decide if he’s willing to step up and speak. Along the way, the kids uncover the incredible legacy of Francis Asbury and the circuit riders who carried faith across the wilderness, one sermon at a time.

Together, they’ll discover how perseverance, courage, and a willing heart can change the course of history.

Explore history like never before—with exciting sound effects, immersive storytelling, and faith-based lessons for kids!
