[434 in Motion] Lost in America (s1e4) - Captured in Time: What Revolutionary Veterans Teach Us About Being Seen

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. #America250 #RevolutionaryWar #HistoryUncovered #HistoricalPhotography #GeorgeWashington #FaithAndHistory #KnownAndLoved #AmericanHistory #VintagePhotography

[434 in Motion] The Origin of the Dream of Freedom (s1e9) - Why America’s Foundation is Intertwined with Faith

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. #America250 #AmericanHistory #FaithAndFreedom #PromisedLand #JudeoChristian #FoundingFathers #ReligiousLiberty #TheAmericanDream #SpiritualHeritage #HistoryMatters

[434 in Motion] The Man for the Moment (s1e3) - Power of Forgiveness: How George Washington Healed a Divided Nation

After the smoke of the Revolutionary War cleared, a new and dangerous challenge emerged: how to unite a fractured and politically divided people. In this episode of The Man for the Moment, Jeff Dixon explores a side of George Washington often overlooked—his commitment to reconciliation. Rather than seeking retaliation against former enemies or fueling partisan bitterness, Washington championed forgiveness as the only way to move the country forward. Drawing from Colossians 3:13, we see how Washington’s leadership was anchored in the biblical principle of forgiving as the Lord forgave us. In a modern world where we are quick to draw battle lines, Washington’s example serves as a powerful reminder that healing and progress only happen when we choose compassion over hate. Join us at the Church of 434 as we celebrate America 250 and learn how to use the power of forgiveness to make our nation a better place today. #America250 #GeorgeWashington #Forgiveness #Unity #AmericanHistory #FoundingFathers #Reconciliation #FaithAndPolitics #ChristianValues

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?

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.
