You cannot be an honest historian without acknowledging the spiritual catalyst behind the birth of America. Today, we revisit our series on the founding of the nation to discuss why early settlers viewed this land as a divine calling. We look at the definition of faith in Hebrews 11:1 and how it empowered a group of people to rise to the challenge, explore the unknown, and sacrifice for a freedom we exercise today.

As America approaches its 250th birthday, Jeff Dixon and Dr. Chris Whaley (The Masked Saint) take a deep dive into the pivotal events that shaped the United States. From the courage of the Founding Fathers and the signing of the Declaration of Independence to the “great correction” of the Civil War and the global shift of WWII, we explore the history, the leadership, and the spiritual implications of our nation’s journey.

We’ve all seen the movie National Treasure, where history is a high-stakes adventure filled with hidden maps and secret codes. But did you know there is a real-life mystery surrounding the Declaration of Independence that is just as compelling? In this episode of Lost in America, Jeff Dixon reveals that while we all know the famous signed version in the National Archives, there were actually 200 original copies printed by John Dunlap. Today, only 26 of those original “Dunlap Broadsides” are known to exist. Where are the other 174? From dusty attics to forgotten crates, these priceless pieces of American history are still waiting to be discovered. Join us at the Church of 434 as we celebrate America 250 by exploring the beauty of discovery—not just in our nation’s past, but in our walk with God. There is always something new to learn if you know where to look!

Long before the bright lights of Broadway defined New York City, the city was a stronghold for the British Army during the Revolutionary War. But while the Redcoats were firmly entrenched in their fight against American independence, they were also spending their evenings in a very unexpected way: as stage actors. In this episode of Lost in America, we uncover the fascinating history of British soldiers who moonlighted as Shakespearean performers while occupying New York. While George Washington’s “upstart” Americans were too busy fighting for freedom to establish a theater scene, the British troops were bringing sophisticated drama to the colonies. Join us at the Church of 434 as we celebrate America 250 by exploring the lighter—and sometimes stranger—side of our nation’s founding history. Don’t get lost in the shuffle; the details are what make our history great!
