#120 - Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck and Eric Metaxas launch a fiery, faith-driven call to restore America’s covenant with God, arguing that the nation’s founding was rooted not in Enlightenment rationalism but in biblical principles and Christian conviction. Beck reveals that the 250th anniversary of the nation’s birth—marked by a May 17, 2026, rededication on the National Mall—coincides precisely with the 250th anniversary of Congress’s 1776 proclamation of a day of prayer and fasting, which he sees as divine synchronicity. Drawing from forgotten letters, sermons, and historical records, Beck dismantles the myth of George Washington and Thomas Paine as deists, citing their firsthand accounts of miracles and their belief in God’s active role in history. He insists that the American Revolution was uniquely anchored in the idea of inalienable rights from God, a principle absent in the French Revolution and what he calls the ‘covenant nation’ model of Israel. The conversation pivots to a broader cultural crisis, with Beck urging a revival of gratitude, generosity, and Christian values—echoed in the children’s book *America’s Grateful Stateful Road Trip* by Brad and Drew Formsma, which teaches kids to appreciate national blessings through a Christian lens. The episode culminates in a powerful appeal to free enslaved people through Christian Solidarity International, with every $250 setting one captive free and restoring them to life and family.
