Podcasts about god and country

What does it really look like when Spirit-filled Christians participate in their country — and could it be the key to turning America around? Jim Scudder wraps up "The Order of God and Country" with a challenge for every believer to step up.

What does the Bible actually say about the right order of God and country — and why does it matter for America right now? Jim Scudder opens a new series for America's 250th birthday, tracing the nation's founding principles back to Scripture.

On this episode of The Prophetic Voice of Our Time, Cristina Sosso reflects on the powerful May 17th rededication of America under God and shares prophetic insights about revival, spiritual leadership, and the emerging role of apostles and prophets in the body of Christ. She encourages believers to deepen their relationship with Jesus, follow God’s instructions, and prepare for a great move of God marked by spiritual awakening, correction, and transformation in the Church and the nations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the last Monday in May, echoing the words and sentiments of the proclamation of General John A. Logan of the grand Army of the Republic in 1868 who stated: “MEMORIAL DAY IS DESIGNATED FOR THE PURPOSE OF STREWING WITH FLOWERS OR OTHERWISE DECORATING THE GRAVES OF COMRADES WHO DIED IN DEFENSE OF THEIR COUNTRY DURING THE LATE REBELLION (THE CIVIL WAR) AND WHOSE BODIES NOW LIE IN ALMOST EVERY CITY, VILLAGE AND HAMLET, CHURCH YARD IN THE LAND.” So it is that the primary purpose of Memorial Day is to strew with flowers, literally and figuratively, the graves and memories of America's daring defenders. They, the fallen, died for freedom, liberty, for America, for us, for YOU AND ME. We were asked to remember those who died in the great American Civil War, but the day to remember now incorporates all who have given lives in defense of our country. Far too many wars, my fellow Americans, and far too many fallen defenders by the millions who believed in America, and in its fundamental principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all mankind. How grateful we should be. We are descendants or contemporaries of patriots, men and women who cherish freedom and were willing to fight and die to defend it if necessary. These warriors lived by the words of Patrick Henry who said: GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH. Our nation was formed in the fight for freedom, for there was no life worthwhile without it. There came our great Constitution and our incredible BILL OF RIGHTS, the rights and freedom amendments which are the finest in the history of mankind. No matter the origin, it seems as though, in so many ways, the passion for freedom may have been lost today as they once had it. We seem to take for granted what they died for. The courage they had seems lost today in so many ways, and the change in our country produces in so many ways an America in decline, at least politically, philosophically, and certainly passionately. Our ancestors fought for the Constitution, for the Bill of Rights and the freedoms those now 27 Amendments allow us. They were ready to die for them, but we, the current people, allow them to be watered down, interpreted away and often ignored without the fight or conviction to protect and defend them. Perhaps the freedoms of Patrick Henry are giving way to a slow but sure death. Perhaps we have failed to meet the challenge of Ben Franklin who told us the Republic they created for us was a marvelous way of government IF we could keep it. I wonder if we can. So, in the midst of barbeques and baseball, it is so healthy to look back and remember. Remember a George Washington, a general, a leader, a President, a warrior, a patriot. Or a Paul Revere who rode the land warning the enemy was coming, sounding the alarm. It seems as though we need more Paul Reveres, warning us that enemies to our Constitution and way of life are coming, and in fact are HERE. We The People should be ever mindful of the threats and sound the alarm as he did, like those who energized our country once before, THE BOSTON TEA PARTY PATRIOTS and the revolution their courageous acts energized and inspired. They took a stand against taxes and so must we. Ours continue to rise, and rise to the point of confiscation, but nothing destroys freedom like taxes. President John Adams reminded us the two killers of liberty are slavery and debt. The debt of confiscatory taxation strangles freedom, and that is happening at an incredibly rapid pace today. Shame on us. It is hard for us to think back and remember the early days in America when slavery was a way of life in America, to our great shame and embarrassment. We, the moderns, find that inconceivable, and the practice of slavery of any kind abhorrent, do we not? Right-thinking men and women fought and fell to rid America of the scourge of slavery, God bless them. And to rid the world of despots like Hitler, evil to the core, Mussolini, and those who, in war, would destroy the freedom and liberty of all. God bless them. There can hardly be a family anywhere in America which has not laid a son or daughter on the altar of freedom. So many fought and fell, lives given willingly for us in war after war. There were those who supported those who fought. We honor them. Many of our warriors and defenders came home hurt and damaged in body or mind, perhaps for a lifetime. On Memorial Day, we honor these veterans of wars, these HEROES, these wounded warriors who gave us our freedom: WE OWE THEM! A debt we can never repay. To honor them is the least we can do, to thank them as we remember and as we encounter those in our military who follow after them. We should help and support them. They lived and died for what they believed. Whenever I encounter a member of our military, I thank them for what they did and what they do for our great country, for me, and for you, and for my friends and loved ones, and all Americans whether I know them or not. But, I really do know them, for I know what is in their hearts and minds and I know they love America as much as I do. I will salute them as a sign of respect. I wish them to know I will always be grateful for everything they do for me and the America I love. Perhaps YOU should do the same, not on one Memorial Day, but on all days. They, the heroes and defenders, are the very best of us. God bless them. Memorial Day is always celebrated at Arlington National Cemetery, a very special place, a burial site for some of America's bravest. At 3:00 PM on that Monday, a very special ceremony occurs, and each grave is decorated with a small American flag. The highlight of the celebration is a speech in honor of these brave men and women from the President or Vice President of the United States honoring their contributions to America and laying a wreath at the tomb of The Unknown Soldier. That tomb represents tens of thousands of other unknown soldiers who gave their lives in service to our country, but in death never got the recognition and respect they so justly deserved. Do remember them, my fellow Americans, do remember them as well on Memorial Day, as there may be no one else, no loved one, no friend or family to do so. As you do remember these American heroes, thank our God, the God who blesses America for all those who gave so much for us. They allowed us to be parents, to have and enjoy family, they allowed us to be workers and fully participate in the great opportunities America offers. THEY allowed us to be all we can be, because our soldiers, they were determined to be all they could be. Have a special place in your heart all week for any loved one, family or friend of yours who should be MEMORIALIZED AND REMEMBERED this day and always. And, as we pay tribute and remember, let us become better citizens of this great country, ready more than ever to preserve, protect, and defend all it stands for, all of our blessed and precious freedoms which exist like there are nowhere else in the world. Let us stand for what is right with actions, protests, town meetings, marches, debate, fact and truth at work, counteracting government spin and disinformation. Let us stand tall for the right, for truth, for all things moral and valuable. Let us resolve, WE THE PEOPLE, we who own and control this country, to do our job as citizens far better, and remember to cherish and exercise the greatest privilege which every American has THE VOTE! There is no more powerful weapon than the vote of the American citizen. It is the most precious Constitutional right we have, and for which our forefathers fought and died. Let us make certain we vote for those to represent us, who so passionately believe in these very special freedoms as we do, and they, the fallen, did. It is only then, when we do our part, day in and day out, that we would have the right to say, with conviction and passion, as our forefathers did: GOD BLESS AMERICA! For that can not happen unless WE THE PEOPLE do what is right, remembering whom and what went before, and committing with conviction to follow in their footsteps. These men and women died for GOD AND COUNTRY and for you and me in the never-ending fight to protect and preserve: FREEDOM! Memorialize their memories on Memorial Day and every day! God bless America and God bless you.

On this episode of The Prophetic Voice of Our Time, Cristina Sosso shares a powerful message about America’s spiritual renewal and the importance of rededicating the nation under God. She discusses prayer, repentance, healing, the transfer of wealth and influence, and the coming move of God, while encouraging believers to purify their hearts, trust in God’s promises, and prepare for a season of restoration, revival, and supernatural breakthrough.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 103 Across Massachusetts, a series of fires began targeting places tied to faith and patriotism — Protestant churches, American Legion halls, and other community institutions closely associated with “God and country.” From the beginning, investigators knew they were dealing with arson. At scene after scene, the same method appeared: windows smashed to gain entry, gasoline used as an accelerant, and fires intentionally set inside the buildings. The pattern was obvious, but proving the same person was responsible for all of them was another matter entirely. For a long time, investigators had little more than the method of operation linking the fires together. Then the suspect made a mistake. At one scene, a hammer was left behind — a small piece of evidence that investigators were able to connect to another fire through forensic analysis. It was the first physical link tying two of the crimes together. But even then, most of the fires remained connected only by pattern, timing, and method. The investigation would continue until the suspect was finally caught in the act, bringing an end to a string of arsons that had targeted both houses of worship and patriotic institutions across the state. In this episode of Crime to Burn, we break down the investigation, the forensic evidence, and how investigators ultimately stopped a serial firestarter. Buy Burn Boston Burn by Wayne M.

Freedom is one of the most beautiful blessings we enjoy—but it's also one of the most misunderstood. In this Raising Godly Girls Podcast episode, hosts Melissa Bearden and Natalie Ambrose unpack the true meaning of freedom from a Biblical Worldview perspective and explore how to help your daughter see both the cost and the calling behind it.  As our nation pauses to honor Veterans Day, Melissa and Natalie remind listeners that freedom is not just a national treasure—it's a Gospel truth. Drawing from Galatians 5:1 and John 15:13, they invite parents to teach their daughters that the liberty we celebrate as Americans mirrors an even greater liberty purchased for us in Christ. Through faith-filled storytelling, discussion about military chaplains, and reflection on American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay's Raising Godly Girls Minute, this episode points families toward gratitude, humility, and spiritual clarity in an age of confusion about what "freedom" truly means.  From honoring veterans in your community to helping your daughter understand the weight of sacrifice and the joy of service, this episode equips parents to cultivate both patriotism and discipleship—reminding us that true freedom is found not in doing what we want, but in living for the One who set us free.  Three Things to Remember This Week  Freedom isn't free. Use everyday moments—like Veterans Day ceremonies—to remind your girl of the sacrifices made for her freedom, both earthly and eternal.  Anchor her view of liberty in Scripture. Teach her that freedom without Christ leads to confusion, but freedom in Christ leads to love and service.  Model a heart of gratitude and honor. Let your family's actions toward veterans, leaders, and neighbors reflect a deep respect for God's gift of freedom.    Scripture References in This Episode  Galatians 5:1 – "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free."  Galatians 5:13 – "Do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love."  John 15:13 – "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."  Philippians 2:3–4 – "In humility value others above yourselves… look to the interests of others."  Exodus 32:32 – Moses' intercession as a model of sacrificial leadership.    Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com. To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

Candid Catholic Convos 7.6.25     SHOW DESCRIPTION:    Our service members are asked to do and see things that many of us civilians can't even fathom. I will never know the full extent of what my husband saw or did overseas, but I do know that it rocked his faith. So how can we minister to those who are called to sacrifice for the rest of us, who come home with injuries that are sometimes invisible, who no longer see the intersection of faith and patriotism? Today I have the honor of speaking with Father William Barbee, pastor at both St. Joseph and Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Berwick as well as a former army chaplain who served in Germany, Korea, Texas, South Carolina and eventually the Carlisle Barracks. His vast experiences and incredible journey has led him to creating a rich community steeped in the Catholic Faith and military service devotion.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. "If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I'll hear from heaven, and I'll forgive their sin and will heal their land." This promise from God found in 2 Chronicles gives us such hope—even in a time where hope is scarce in our country. But here's the truth: God is faithful; He keeps His promises. So, we must humble ourselves, pray, and seek His face. We must turn from our wicked ways and repent of our sins. That's the power of the Gospel. When we place our trust in Jesus alone and turn from our sins, when we accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior of our lives...everything changes. And when this happens in a person after person, well...our culture and country changes. It heals as we're healed. So let's not delay—let's share the Gospel. For resources, visit our website at sharelife.today.

Some stories rewrite the odds. In moments when defeat looked certain and disaster loomed, something unexpected shifted the outcome—again and again. From battlefields to space missions, from founding fathers to forgotten figures, patterns emerge where crisis met courage and history turned on the edge of the impossible. These aren't just tales of survival. They're bold accounts of events that reshaped the fate of a nation when nothing else could.

It's based on Romans 15:13: "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."  Bunni Pounds, President of Christians Engaged, leads a powerful time of prayer to mark the occasion, joined by FPA Senior Vice President Amanda Banks and Christians Engaged Vice President Ben Quine. Join us for this special time of prayer. Discover more about the National Day of Prayer at https://www.nationaldayofprayer.org.

How beautiful is God, the Great Creator and Divine Creditor, to release us from our debt to Him. His love awakens us to the evil around us and constrains us to do something about it.

As we live as Citizens of Heaven, as well as Citizens of Our Nation, we ultimately see it all play out as we live in our actual communities. That means we participate in our culture. How then should we live as Citizens of Culture.

Understanding our first citizenship and allegiance to be in heaven, how are we supposed to live as citizens in our nations? How are we supposed to “submit to the governing authorities“?

In a politically charged time, it's important for Christians to know where we stand, and more importantly, where we belong. In session 1 of God and Country we examine our identity as Citizens of Heaven.

"Unpacking Christian Nationalism: 'God & Country' Documentary Explores the Roots of Violence at the Capitol"This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!How does a religion that claims to be rooted in love and peace fire people up to commit violence, as at the Capitol on January 6, 2021? In a brand-new documentary, “God & Country”, producer Rob Reiner and director Dan Partland explore Christian Nationalism — a toxic brew of patriarchal White Nationalism and messianic faith. Based on the book “The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism” by Katherine Stewart, “God & Country” exposes how Christian Nationalism poses a real and immediate threat, not only to the very idea of secular democracy but also to Christianity itself. Reiner is an Emmy-winning actor and acclaimed director, best known for his work on “All In The Family”, “When Harry Met Sally” and “The Princess Bride”. He is also a political activist dedicating his time to numerous social justice causes. Partland, a veteran documentary producer and director for film and television, is a five-time Emmy nominee with two Emmys for Best Nonfiction Series including American High on Fox. Whether you're a Christian or a concerned citizen, this episode is a must-watch. Plus, a closing commentary from Laura on becoming actively engaged in our democracy.“If you believe the United States has a God-ordained role to play in human history as a Christian nation and democracy is taking us away from those principles, then you can justify doing anything to make sure that God's will is done. That's what I think you see happening on January 6th.” - Dan Partland“Christian nationalism . . . as this political movement is not the majority. It is far from the majority. What is scary is that because of the way our system works, a very virulent minority can control our politics and that's what they've done.” - Rob ReinerGuests:• Dan Partland: Director, God & Country• Rob Reiner: Producer, God & CountryFor the Full Uncut Conversation of this podcast, Listen HERE, or search wherever you get your podcasts.Full Episode Notes are located HERE.  They include related episodes, articles, and more.Music In the Middle:  “Promised Land (Homage)” a rework by Barbara Tucker and The BCrew of the Joe Smooth Classic courtesy of B Star Music Group.  And additional music included- "Steppin"  by Podington Bear.
