These truths that seem so normal to us today were truly revolutionary in 1776!

What was the Spirit of ’76?

The “Spirit of ’76” is one of those phrases that means more than people often realize.

It was not just excitement. It was not blind optimism. And it was not a celebration of victory, because victory had not yet come.

For those living through 1776, the future was uncertain. The cost was real. The risks were enormous.

It is hard to reduce to a sentence, but we recognize it when we see it: courage, conviction, sacrifice, purpose, and a deep belief that liberty is worth defending.

The Spirit of ’76 was the conviction that liberty was worth sacrifice.

“These are the times that try men’s souls.” — Thomas Paine, 1776

That was the Spirit of ’76.

What a difference 250 years makes!

🇺🇸 America is turning 250, and the story is bigger than fireworks.

We all know July 4th.

But America’s birth didn’t happen in a single moment.

It unfolded over eight extraordinary days filled with debate, courage, sacrifice, and a decision that could have cost these men everything.

Our new video, “The 8 Days That Created America,” tells the powerful story behind the Declaration — from Philadelphia to independence, from risk to resolve, and from one historic decision to the nation that followed.

It’s patriotic.
It’s moving.
And it’s a reminder that liberty is not just something we celebrate; it’s something we remember, protect, and pass on.

🇺🇸 What does America’s 250th anniversary mean to you?

Happy Flag Day!

We teach our children many things.

How to read.
How to work.
How to be kind.
How to remember what matters.

But have we taught them the flag?🇺🇸

As America approaches 250 years, Flag Day is more than a date on the calendar. It is a reminder that freedom does not pass itself on. The meaning of the flag has to be taught, remembered, and carried forward by each generation.

This new video tells the story behind Flag Day from the first American flags of the Revolution to a little schoolhouse in Wisconsin to the beloved name “Old Glory.”

It is a story about liberty, sacrifice, memory, and the responsibility we have to the next generation.

Watch it. Share it. Talk about it with your family.

Because the flag is not just something we display.

It is something we teach.

This bit of history is written into the Constitution!

On this day in 1800, America’s government began one of the most important transitions in our nation’s early history.

On May 15, 1800, President John Adams officially ordered the federal government to leave Philadelphia and relocate to the newly established capital city of Washington, D.C.

At the time, the entire federal government consisted of just over 125 employees — clerks, officials, records, and departments that would all need to be transferred to a city that was still largely unfinished.

Adams instructed every federal office to be fully operational in Washington by June 15, 1800.

Within months:

• Philadelphia ceased serving as the nation’s capital
• Adams arrived in the District of Columbia
• The first federal offices opened in Washington
• Congress met in the city for the first time
• And on November 1, 1800, John and Abigail Adams became the first residents of the unfinished President’s House — what we now call the White House.

The move represented more than a change of address.

It symbolized the establishment of a permanent national government under the Constitution — a young republic planting itself in a capital designed specifically for the future of the United States.

In 1800, Washington was still muddy, under construction, and far from complete.

But the Founders believed the nation they were building would endure.

It's time for us to recognize and embrace our rich, spiritual legacy!

Before the phrase “One Nation Under God” was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954…
Its roots were already woven deep into the American story.

From the Declaration of Independence…
to Francis Scott Key’s “In God is our trust”…
to Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address…

This new episode traces how America came to understand itself as a nation under a higher authority and why that idea still matters 250 years later.

The American Founders were men of prayer!

Tomorrow is the National Day of Prayer.

From the Great Awakening… to the Continental Congress… to Benjamin Franklin’s call for prayer during the Constitutional Convention… faith and Providence were deeply woven into the American founding.

The American founders were men of prayer!

New Video Dropped! - The Founders didn’t separate faith from public life the way we often assume.

They called the nation to prayer.
They spoke openly about Providence.
And even British officials blamed American pastors—the “Black Robe Regiment”—for fueling the Revolution.

This video breaks down the real history behind the National Day of Prayer.

Such an amazing beginning to American history - this should be taught in schools!!

Before there was a nation… There was a landing...

On April 26, 1607, English settlers stepped onto the shores of Virginia, beginning what would become the first successful English colony in the New World.

This video explores that moment of uncertainty, the mission's purpose, and the fragile beginnings of Jamestown.
