Ken Mercer Show / Mercer Moments in American History LLC
Ken Mercer is referred to by some as the "Minister of Education!" He will report on both incredible, current events and historic "Moments in American History" that for some reason are...
DELETED and/or ERASED from our nation's textbooks and schools.
Is that academic bias meant to dilute the honest, documented faith and values of many of our Founders - including the impact and influence of new American Christians of the "Great Awakening?"
Mercer will bring those "Missing Moments" back! He tackles the "truths" and "facts" behind these historic and current events that will unite Americans, not divide us.
Ken will also share many of the incredible Bible Verses and Worship Songs that continue to define our history Faith and Values!
Remember two lessons from Ken Mercer:
A. There is only one United States of America. If we are gone, there is no other America to go to!
B. The "Secret" of America is this:
"In a place called the United States of America... in GOD We STILL Trust!"

USA 250th: Why are they LYING about the Three-Fifths Compromise?
They told generations of students a simple LIE about the Three-Fifths Compromise: that it proved the founders believed a Black person was only “three-fifths” human. We think that story leaves out the real engine underneath the deb...

Fear Not Friday: At Your Red Sea: God Will Make a Way! (Exodus 14:13-14)
