In an era where America’s Christian foundations are questioned and our national identity seems fractured, understanding God’s providence in American history has never been more crucial. The Foundation for American Christian Education (FACE) presents a remarkable opportunity to rediscover the divine hand that shaped our nation through their comprehensive 2025-26 Lessons in Liberty series.
Why Understanding Providence Matters Now
As believers watching cultural upheaval and political division, we often wonder: Where is God in America’s story today? The answer lies in understanding how He worked throughout our nation’s past. Noah Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines providence as “The care and superintendence that God exercises over his creatures… By divine providence is often understood God Himself.”
America’s founders lived with this Biblical perspective. They recognized every challenge and blessing as coming from God’s loving hand for their benefit and His glory. This understanding shaped their response to tyranny, their approach to governance, and their vision for a Christian constitutional republic.
The Forgotten Foundation of American Liberty
Today’s confusion about America’s identity stems from forgetting our providential story. We’ve reduced our history to random events rather than recognizing it as “the working out of a mighty system defined by principles as old as creation, and as infallible as divine wisdom.”
The Lessons in Liberty series examines compelling evidence that America’s history follows divine purpose and direction. From the preparation of the continent to the suffering and miracles that secured our freedom, God’s hand guided the establishment of liberty and Christian self-government on American soil.
Nine Transformative Sessions with Distinguished Scholars
The series features renowned Christian historians and educators who bring decades of research to these vital topics:
Dr. Max Lyons opens the series in September exploring “The Hand of God in American History,” establishing the Biblical framework for understanding providential history and its meaning for today’s believers.
Dr. Mark Beliles examines the mindset of America’s founding generation in October, revealing how Cotton Mather and early Puritans understood God’s divine providence in the discovery and colonization of America.
Stephen McDowell presents two crucial sessions on the Revolution and Constitutional America, showing how hardship forged representative self-government and how Reformed theology shaped civil government.
The series progresses through expansion, conflicts, modern challenges, and concludes with Dr. Gai Ferdon addressing God’s providence in today’s American family and church.
Practical Application for Modern Christians
This isn’t merely academic history. Each session connects historical understanding to current Christian living and cultural engagement. Participants discover how recognizing God’s providence:
- Strengthens faith during national uncertainty
- Provides Biblical perspective on current events
- Equips believers for effective cultural influence
- Restores confidence in God’s ongoing work in America
The series answers critical questions: Why did founders believe in providence? How does it apply to our individual lives? Is God’s providence still active in America today?
