In this special edition, we pause to celebrate the 250th birthday of our nation. We explore the unique history of God’s divine creation in America, from the pioneers and settlers who crossed “sea to shining sea” to the inventions that shaped the world.

While acknowledging the rebellions and immature mistakes of our past—likened to the prodigal son returning to the Father’s house—we affirm that 250 years is worth celebrating.

This episode is a call to intercession, asking for God’s mercy, grace, and repentance as we seek His intervening hand. As nations from around the globe gather here for the World Cup, we are reminded that all eyes are on us. We are called to be a light to the world, declaring our dependence on Him.

Includes:

Founding Truths: Reflecting on the representative republic, the declaration that all are created equal, and the foundational belief in Biblical truth and freedom of religion.

The Prodigal Nation: A look at our history through the lens of the prodigal son story—leaving home, falling into poverty and sin, and the Father’s patient drawing us back.

Job 12:22: “He makes nations great, and they fall.”

A Call to Return: Returning to the hymns and principles of our heritage, not through political laws, but through a spiritual awakening to save those trapped in darkness.

Global Watch: Acknowledging that all nations are watching the US, not just for our birthday, but for our witness to love the Lord.

Declaration of Dependence: An invitation to intercede for God’s intervention, admitting our dependence on Him.
