Building on the American Heritage Series - Preserving America's Heritage

A Patriotic Night In Washington

America’s Freedom Works Only With Religion And Morality
The detail most people miss says a lot about what we’ve forgotten: an open Bible sitting on the table in the iconic Constitutional Convention painting. From there, we follow a thread that runs through the Founders’ writings, early American serm...
Rebuilding Liberty’s Missing Foundation
A lot of people can celebrate America. Far fewer can explain it. As we head toward the 250th anniversary, we’re sharing week three of Rebuilding Liberty with Tim Barton to make sure the next generation knows what freedom is, why it matters, and...
History Shows Religious Expression Belongs In Public Life
The story we’re told about faith in public life is usually simple: religion belongs at home, and anything more is a modern political invention. The receipts say otherwise. We trace a straight line from the founding era through the 1800s and int...
America’s Schools Once Taught The Bible By Law
A single Supreme Court test helped drive 50 years of fights over prayer, the Bible, and religious symbols in public life and most people never learned its name. We unpack how rulings like Engel v. Vitale and Lemon v. Kurtzman changed the rules ...

Pastors, Power, And The American Founding - with Pastor Josh McPherson
The Declaration of Independence didn’t just come from brilliant men in a room, it came from a culture shaped by pulpits, sermons, and a belief that our rights come from God, not government. From Washington, DC during America 250 events, we sit ...

America 250 And A Comeback In Patriotism - with Nate Schatzline
Fireworks are easy. Remembering what made America worth celebrating is harder, and that’s where we go for America 250. Rick Green, David Barton, and Tim Barton talk through the surprising wave of renewed patriotism we’re seeing right now, why i...
The Bible Behind America’s Founding
July 4 gets all the fireworks, but our actual independence vote landed on July 2, 1776, and that one detail opens the door to a much bigger reset of what we think we know about America’s founding. We walk through the real timeline from Richard ...
The Week’s Biggest Wins For Faith And Freedom
The news cycle trains you to expect bad headlines, so we decided to spend this Good News Friday hunting for proof that courage still exists and that good ideas still produce good results. We start close to home with a major release for American...
The Pledge Myth
People can make almost anything sound sinister if they start with a scary premise and end with a confident conclusion. We slow down and do the unglamorous work: dates, documents, and plain context. That’s how we handle a question we keep hearin...
Lives Fortune Sacred Honor And The People Behind The Declaration
A Declaration of Independence signature looks heroic from 250 years away. In real time, it can put a target on your back. We dig into what that kind of courage actually costs, why the signers weren’t instantly celebrated, and how a nation’s mem...

The Courageous Church - with Bob Pearl
Nearly 5,000 men show up in Washington State, and what we hear afterward isn’t a victory lap, it’s a sober signal that something is shifting. We talk through highlights from FreedomCon at the Gorge and why it feels less like a passing revival m...
Building on the American Heritage Series: Demystifying the Courts
Courts shape our daily lives, but most of us were taught a version of the judiciary that the Constitution never actually designed. We dig into the biggest myths head-on: the idea that federal judges are appointed for life no matter what, that t...
Founders Under Fire
The Founding Fathers are quoted constantly and understood rarely, and that gap is where bad history thrives. We dig into the real human cost behind the Declaration’s pledge of “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” and share standout stories from ...
Jefferson’s Rough Draft
The fastest way to cut through modern noise about the Founding Fathers is to put the original documents back in your hands. We’re celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by talking about a replica of Thomas Jefferson’s handwritten draft of the ...
Patriotism On The Rise - with Dr. Ben Carson
