ONE NATION UNDER GOD: The Providential Birth of America
About this audiobook
In the spring of 1740, an itinerant English preacher named George Whitefield rode into a Connecticut field and addressed three thousand farmers. By nightfall, a continent was on fire. What followed in the next half century — the bullets that passed through Washington's coat at the Monongahela, the pulpits that armed thirteen colonies with conscience, the fog that hid an army on the East River, the storm that ended the war at Yorktown, the unscripted So help me God on a New York balcony — has been remembered as politics, as warfare, as Enlightenment philosophy. It was always more than that.
One Nation Under God tells the story of the American Revolution as the men and women who lived it told it: as a Providence. From the revival fires of the Great Awakening to the inauguration of the first president, this is the hidden history of the founding — the preachers, soldiers, financiers, and printers whom Heaven used to birth a republic.
In honor of America's 250th year. Twelve chapters. One nation. One Providence.

About the author
JesusPod is an independent faith-and-history studio producing long-form books, full-cast audiobooks, and weekly podcast episodes for readers and listeners who want more than a sound bite. Founded on the conviction that the most important stories of every century are the ones told around campfires, in pulpits, and at family tables — the stories of how God moves through ordinary lives — JesusPod brings together historians, narrators, and writers to create works that hold up under scholarly scrutiny while still moving the heart.
Our subjects range from the founding of nations to the lives of the saints, from forgotten missionaries to modern-day deliverances. We work in the conviction that Christian history is not a museum but a living inheritance — and that retelling it well is one of the highest acts of stewardship a generation can offer the next.
One Nation Under God: A 250th Anniversary Tribute is part of an expanding library released in honor of America's quarter-millennial year and the Providence that watched over her founding.
