FOUNDATION
PRESERVING THE SPIRIT THAT
BUILT AMERICA
We protect the stories, faith, and freedoms that shaped this nation so that your children and grandchildren inherit courage instead of confusion.
America is losing her memory
Nations do not drift into freedom’s loss by accident. They forget first. When the stories that once formed conscience are abandoned or made inaccessible, each generation inherits less understanding than the one before it, and the future narrows accordingly.
The American Providence Foundation exists to preserve the conscience of the Republic. We stand in the widening gap between past and present, recovering foundational works and neglected lives, reforming them so they can be understood by this generation, and restoring the meaning they once carried. Through truthful storytelling, teaching, and public formation, we make the record of liberty of conscience accessible again to families, citizens, and communities.
This work is a warning as much as it is an offering. If historical memory continues to erode, the freedom entrusted to the next generation will be thinner, more fragile, and easier to surrender. Our purpose is to interrupt that trajectory by equipping households with clear history, freely available learning, and a framework strong enough to be taught forward to adults and children alike.
This is history recovered, restored, and placed back into the hands of those responsible for carrying it forward.

Liberty of conscience was dearly bought
Long before liberty was protected by law, it was defended by conviction. Ordinary men and women bore extraordinary cost so the soul could remain free.
Banished for conscience
Driven from Massachusetts for refusing to place civil power over the soul, he established a colony grounded in liberty of conscience and a clear separation between church authority and the state.
Pen and pulpit
Through preaching, petitions, and historical record, he confronted state religion and helped force liberty of conscience into the public conscience of a forming nation.
Miles for liberty
A tireless preacher who traveled relentlessly, reminding a young republic that faith survives only where belief is free and conscience remains unbound.
We do not venerate these men. We recognize the cost they bore—and accept the responsibility they left behind.
From hidden archives to the living room
Every project moves along one clear path. Preserve what was almost lost. Teach it clearly. Mobilize those who hear.
Preserve
We recover and protect neglected pieces of American religious history. Archival research, rare manuscripts, on site documentation, and story capture so the original record is not buried under revision and neglect.
Educate
We create films, series, lectures, and resources for churches, families, and schools. Serious history made visually compelling and accessible without flattening or sanitizing it.
Mobilize
We turn viewers into custodians of memory through heritage tours, live events, fellowships, and tools that help ordinary citizens stand for truth in their own time and place.
From bystander to custodian of memory
This is not a spectator crowd. American Providence is a fellowship of men and women who refuse to let the record of liberty be erased in their generation.

Why this work matters
“If we do not teach our children where this liberty came from, someone else will teach them that it never mattered.”
Pastor and supporter of the American Providence vision
The American Direction
There is a story behind every freedom we enjoy. It was written by ordinary people with extraordinary courage. Our mission is to find their stories, restore their names, and show
how their faith and convictions shaped the country we live in today. We believe remembrance strengthens the backbone of a nation. When we remember well, we stand strong.
