Have you ever wondered what the revolutionaries of the late 1700s really looked like? While our history books are filled with stylized oil paintings and sketches, there is a “lost” chapter of American history where the past meets the lens of a camera. In this episode of Lost in America, we uncover the incredible fact that several Revolutionary War veterans survived long enough to witness the birth of photography. Photographed in the 1860s, these men weren’t just names in a book; they were soldiers who had spoken with George Washington and witnessed the birth of a nation firsthand.
But as we look back at these rare images that bridge the gap between myth and reality, we are reminded of an even deeper truth. Just as these men were “found” and photographed to preserve their legacy, you are seen and known by your Heavenly Father. From the battlefields of 1776 to the moments of your life today, God keeps your “picture on His refrigerator.” Join us as we explore the faces of our founders and discover a love that refuses to let you be lost in history.

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!
