Podcast with Dr. Paul Kengor on Providence and the Founding of America

Topic: Providence and the Founding of America.

Many people today chafe at the idea that God had anything to do with the founding of America. But earlier generations of Americans were convinced that without God’s help we never would have been able to become an independent nation. George Washington said as much in his First Inaugural Address. A new movie came out to select theatres in early June 2025 called “The American Miracle,” which chronicles some of the ways God seemed to help America to be established. The host of the movie was Michael Medved, and it was based on his book by the same title. The movie is a docudrama and includes commentaries from various people, mostly historians—one of whom is Dr. Paul Kengor, a frequent guest on this program. Dr. Paul Kengor is an historian, a political science professor at Grove City College, and a best-selling author. Dr. Kengor joins Jerry Newcombe to discuss Providence and the founding of America. www.faithandfreedom.com
