“Providence” is an old-fashioned word that simply means “God that provides for us.” The doctrine of Divine providence asserts that God is in complete control of all things. He is sovereign over the universe as a whole. Many of our founding fathers recognized that God’s providential hand was essential for the founding of this nation. Yet, a growing number today claim that America was not founded on Christian principles. Dr. Jerry Newcombe is a historian and Executive Director of The Providence Forum.

Radical gender ideology targets children and wreaks psychological and medical havoc. Many have been stunned over the past few years to discover the damage this ideology inflicts on people.

Brandon unpacks everything we’re seeing today involving gender ideology and transgenderism and exposes for what it is, a lie.

To hear skeptics tell it today, America was conceived as a purely secular experiment. Nothing could be further from the truth. That idea is refuted by all the history that surrounds our Thanksgiving holiday. In this newest episode of "Truths That Transform," we’re sharing a preview from the brand-new documentary program, What If the Bible Had Never Been Written. Our ministry's founder, Dr. D. James Kennedy, speaks from the National Monument to the Forefathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where America began. Contrary to the skeptics' rhetoric, we owe the entire existence of America—and its freedoms—largely to those who were guided by the Bible.

Is the foundation of this nation rooted in Christian values? The United States Constitution secures principles such as ordered liberty, justice within the legal system, and freedom of conscience. Nevertheless, these core principles face potential threats. Present-day attempts to alter the course of America involve rewriting its historical narrative in order to eliminate its Christian origins. "Christian Nationalism" is often used as a pejorative term by the political left to dissuade Christians from participating in culture and politics. But what transpires when devout Christians genuinely apply biblical teachings to governance, education, and every aspect of life? We will examine individuals who did exactly that in this newest episode of "Truths That Transform." #FoundingPrinciples #ChristianHeritage #Constitution #ReligiousFreedom #AmericanValues #ChristianNationalism #FaithInGovernment #USHistory #CulturalInfluence #BiblicalPrinciples #NationalIdentity #HeritageandFaith #ReligiousInfluence #FreedomOfConscience #USFounding #ChristianInfluence #ReligionInAmerica #HistoryRevisited #FaithfulCitizenship #TruthsThatTransform #DJKM
