[434 in Motion] The Origin of the Dream of Freedom (s1e12) - What the Founders Knew About Prayer

In this episode of The Origin of the Dream of Freedom, we peel back the layers of history to discover a practice that was once the heartbeat of our nation: the recorded prayers of the Founding Fathers. While we live in an era where our digital footprints are tracked, we have largely lost the art of recording our spiritual petitions—a practice the founders prioritized because they recognized they were building something far larger than themselves. Drawing from James 1:5, we explore why these leaders sought divine wisdom over mere common sense and how they understood that without God "in the mix," the American experiment was destined to fail. Today, as we face modern uncertainties, the call remains the same. It is time to stop buying into the narrative that our best days are behind us and instead stand in the gap. Join us as we discuss how personal prayer and a renewed devotion to our nation can keep the dream of freedom alive, ensuring that America remains a "city on a hill" for a world in need of light. #FaithAndFreedom #FoundingFathers #PowerOfPrayer #CityOnAHill #AmericanHistory #DivineGuidance #StandInTheGap #Patriotism #WisdomSeeking #FreedomKeepers
