Do you know that our presidential elections haven’t been Constitutional since 1844? And do you know that Alexander Hamilton warned us of foreign enemy implants in places of governmental positions, especially in the position of President? Yes, these things are true! We have been given the command by God and by our founders to be vigilant and to be stewards of God’s word. God has asked us to put on Christ and to honor Him through our decisions. That includes the decision to vote for honest and able candidates. I discuss these things and more in the latest episode of Rooted to Truth! Tune in to listen. Soundstripe: OGPU4RGT2DEGFTT9

One of the greatest lies told in society today is that American heritage is something to be ashamed of; a deception that began when the truth regarding our founding and involvement in slavery was covered over. To what benefit is it to teach a false narrative that only spreads bitterness, apathy, and discord? Well, it's all a part of the agenda do dismantle America and discredit the Word of God. In this episode we get into how the Constitution was actually a launching pad for the eradication of slavery and not a way to protect it; we'll talk about the 3/5ths clause and the reason it was included into the Constitution, and so much more.

It's no surprise that there are a plethora of radical agendas scheming to destroy conservative values and detract from the original intent behind the Constitution. One under extremely heavy attack is the right to bear arms. As Americans, we should study the Constitution and other founding documents in order to properly defend our rights with truth. The truth is that the 8th section of Article I in the Constitution implies that all Americans should have the right to acquire and use arms; not only for their own self defense, but to act as a layer of defense to the entire nation. The founders included this clause in the Constitution so that we would not experience the tyranny of a standing army led by a powerful government here in the United States.

We the People is the first official episode in a deep dive Constitutional study. In this episode, we'll analyze the preamble of the U.S. Constitution, where a total of 6 action verbs are listed. Each one of them explains the primary goals of the U.S. Constitution, and each are used in a phrase that is incredibly profound. In this study, we'll look at the action words "form," "establish," and "insure." What do these three words have to do with limited government, natural rights, and the consent of the governed?

As our last introduction episode before diving into our study of the Constitution, episode 7 analyzes the Constitutional Convention and the divine providence of the events. The Constitutional Convention was an intense and almost failing event in history. By studying this period of history, we not only learn to appreciate the founding of our nation all the more, we also get to see the love of God. He does not ever fail us, and He promises to use all things for our good. That is exactly what He did in 1787, and is what He is seeking to do in all of our lives as well. We just have to let Him.

In episode 5 of Rooted to Truth, we took a look at the first two documents, out of five, that had an incredible impact on the drafting of our Constitution. Episode 6 continues with that conversation by analyzing the Petition of Rights, the Grand Remonstrance, and the English Bill of Rights. These political documents didn’t come into existence without the influence of a cultural transformation though. The divine inspiration that brought about the Reformation period was a huge contributing factor to the stance for freedom expressed by a newly awakened people.

In this episode of Rooted to Truth we dive into the concept of securing the blessing of liberty to our generation and the generations to come. In a day and age where freedoms are being targeted for infringement, we must be actively exercising our civic responsibility. If we fail to educate ourselves and our posterity; if we do not do our part to hold our governing systems and its leaders accountable, we will surely lose the free nation we have been blessed with. Tune in to hear more on this topic, as well as Biblical reasoning to support these claims.

Welcome to Episode 3 of Rooted to Truth. In this episode, we will explore the difference between freedom and liberty. Can such similar words really be so different in their meaning?

Episode 1 will address a few of these philosophical ways of thinking, and most importantly, will explore the Biblical definition of truth!
