America: A Divine Idea
with Josh Reeves

Ernest Holmes prayed, “And I know that this spiritual democracy shall endure, guaranteeing to everyone in this country personal liberty, happiness, and self-expression.”

America is an idea in the Mind of God, and within it is a prayer for freedom and dignity for all humanity. As former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice once said,

“What really unites us is not nationality, or ethnicity, or religion. It is an idea. And what an idea it is: that you can come from humble circumstances and you can do great things, that it does not matter where you came from—it matters where you are going.”

We celebrate America’s ongoing journey towards freedom, and in times of anxiety and uncertainty, affirm a prayerful knowing for where she is going.
