God’s Hand in America’s Founding | Cynthia Scott on America's 250th Anniversary

As America approaches its 250th birthday, many are asking difficult questions about our nation’s identity, history, and spiritual foundation. In this thoughtful and timely conversation, Patricia sits down with author and prayer leader Cynthia Scott to discuss her book, Celebrating GOD, Our FOUNDER, at America’s 250th Birthday.

Together, they explore the role faith played in America’s founding, the dangers of distorted narratives surrounding Christianity and nationalism, and why remembering God’s providence matters in this cultural moment.

Cynthia shares how years of prayer for the nation inspired this book and explains why she believes history should lead us not toward pride or division—but toward humility, gratitude, and prayer.

This conversation is not about politics. It is about remembering the spiritual roots that shaped generations before us and considering what kind of legacy we will leave for the next generation.

 • Why America’s 250th birthday is spiritually significant
 • The difference between honoring faith in history and Christian nationalism
 • Historical moments that reveal God’s providence in America’s story
 • Why prayer is essential for the future of our nation
