In this final installment of the “Lost in America” miniseries, we uncover a surprising chapter in the life of one of America’s most famous patriots. While every schoolchild knows the story of Paul Revere’s legendary midnight ride, few realize that his talents extended far beyond the saddle. As a master silversmith, Revere applied his craftsmanship to the field of dentistry—a move that would eventually lead to a groundbreaking moment in history. This episode details how Revere used his dental expertise to perform the first-ever instance of forensic identification in America, identifying the fallen Major Joseph Warren by the specific bridgework Revere had wired into his jaw. Join us as we celebrate America 250 by rediscovering the fascinating, lesser-known skills of the men and women who shaped our nation.

Join Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley for the third installment of their “America 250” series on The Clash, where a Christian worldview meets the defining moments of our culture. In this episode, the “amateur historians” take a deep dive into the highlights and heartbreaks of the American journey as the nation prepares for its milestone anniversary. From the awe-inspiring bravery of the Apollo 11 moon landing to the ideological tension of the Cold War, Jeff and Chris explore how technology, courage, and conflict have shaped the national identity. The conversation touches on the transformative power of the Civil Rights movement through the lens of Rosa Parks, the complex legacies of presidents like Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Richard Nixon, and the sobering lessons learned from the Vietnam War. Finally, they reflect on the First Great Awakening, reminding us that through every era of upheaval and revival, history is ultimately “His Story.” Whether you are a history buff or looking for spiritual encouragement, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at where we’ve been and where we are going.

In this episode of The Origin of the Dream of Freedom, we peel back the layers of history to discover a practice that was once the heartbeat of our nation: the recorded prayers of the Founding Fathers. While we live in an era where our digital footprints are tracked, we have largely lost the art of recording our spiritual petitions—a practice the founders prioritized because they recognized they were building something far larger than themselves. Drawing from James 1:5, we explore why these leaders sought divine wisdom over mere common sense and how they understood that without God “in the mix,” the American experiment was destined to fail. Today, as we face modern uncertainties, the call remains the same. It is time to stop buying into the narrative that our best days are behind us and instead stand in the gap. Join us as we discuss how personal prayer and a renewed devotion to our nation can keep the dream of freedom alive, ensuring that America remains a “city on a hill” for a world in need of light.

In a moment that defined the birth of a nation, George Washington faced more than just icy waters and treacherous winds—he faced the crushing weight of “impossible” odds and the voices of doubt. In this episode of The Man for the Moment, Jeff Dixon explores the pivotal crossing of the Delaware on Christmas night, 1776. While the world saw a dangerous gamble, Washington saw a mission guided by Divine Providence. Drawing from the timeless promise of Isaiah 43:2, Jeff reveals how Washington’s willingness to trust God’s guidance over human skepticism revitalized the American cause and birthed a new sense of hope.
Today, you may be standing on the banks of your own “Delaware,” facing a crossing that feels overwhelming and a future that looks bleak. This video is a call to reflect on your impossible challenges, to pray through the 360 degrees of your circumstances, and to find the courage to move when God gives the signal. History shows us that when we trust the guidance of the Creator, no river is too wide to cross. Your victory at “Trenton” may be just one step of faith away.

As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, we often visualize the Revolutionary War through the smoke of muskets and the clash of bayonets. But there is a darker, often forgotten chapter of our history: the silent enemy that claimed twice as many lives as the battlefield ever did. In this episode of Lost in America, we uncover the devastating toll of disease—specifically smallpox—and how the simple act of standing together for freedom created a breeding ground for a fatal epidemic. Beyond the statistics, this story serves as a powerful reminder that every battle we fight carries “secondary consequences” that ripple long after the smoke clears. To truly honor the sacrifice of those who built this nation, we must acknowledge not just the courage they showed in combat, but the unseen costs they paid simply by choosing to answer the call.

In this powerful episode of The Origins of the Dream of Freedom, Jeff Dixon returns to the most foundational document in American history: The Declaration of Independence. Addressing the modern trend of “bad history” that seeks to scrub the divine from our national origin story, Jeff argues that our rights are not mere political concessions, but inalienable gifts from a Creator. By connecting the language of the Founders to the biblical truth of Genesis 1:27, this episode explores why political freedom cannot survive without its spiritual anchor. If we remove God from the equation, the very fabric of our society becomes unsustainable and begins to unravel. This is a call to action for a new generation of “people of valor” to stop retreating and start fighting for the spiritual foundations of liberty. Discover why the dream of freedom begins with God and why it is a dream worth defending at all costs.
