- StarsDave StottsRide along with Dave Stotts in another installment of the award-winning Drive Thru History video series, as he takes a fast-paced drive through American history. Based on the work of Christian historian David Barton, Drive Thru History: Discovering America's Founders take you to Washington, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Virginia to learn about the life and times of the Adams family: John, Abigatil, and John Quincy; the Benjamins: Franklin, Rush and Benneker; and other Revolutionary heroes, including George Washington, Haryn Salomon, and Noah Webster. Come along for the ride to discover how faith and commitment to God and country contributed to the founding of our nation!
- DirectorTom NewmanAcademics often claim the Bible is Anti-Science. But are science and scripture really at odds? Most Americans would be surprised to learn that some of history's greatest thinkers were not only believers, but avid students of the Bible. Did you know the keys to some of our greatest scientific discoveries we found in scripture? Today's American culture does not encourage competition. In an era when everyone wants to be a winner, we have lowered our standards to level the playing field. But history proves that competition leads to progress. What does the Bible say about competition? How do we recapture the spirit of competition in a society ruled by relativism? Can America get back in the game? American courts were designed to be courts of justice. But over time, power has shifted from the people to a select crowd of elected officials. Have we strayed from the founders' original intent? What is the proper role of the judiciary branch? And how do we the people hold our courts accountable?
- DirectorTom NewmanThroughout history, the global landscape has been marked by instability. Nations on every inhabitable continent have seen governments rise and fall, some over twenty times in the span of a century. Yet America's government endures - and has for over two hundred years. Why is our nation the exception to a worldwide norm? What makes America different? America's founders designed a justice system unlike any the world had ever seen. They valued and protected the rights of the individual, even over government agenda. Where did these principles come from? What influenced their distinct ideas on Civil Justice? Where do they fit in the world today? The Founding Fathers warned future Americans against the dangers of perpetual national debt. Thomas Jefferson once said that America must choose between "economy and liberty" or "profusion and servitude." Is it too late for our nation to heed this economic warning? Does the Bible offer any advice for a broken economy?
- DirectorTom NewmanHow are founding fathers used the Bible as a blueprint for America's Freedoms.
- DirectorTom NewmanOur Founders understood the importance of manners and civility. Samuel Adams believed that a society's standard of manners indicated whether a nation was on the rise or fall. From the time of his youth, George Washington was schooled in civility. He even dedicated an entire book to Bible-based behavior. What should this mean to Americans today? Have we lost sight of the importance of manners? When it comes to politics, it seems America suffers from an integrity deficit. As devoted statesmen have been replaced by career politicians, Americans have lost a sense of trust in their elected officials. Federal prosecution of public corruption has risen 2,400% in the last forty years. How do we the people restore political integrity in America? History credits American youth with remarkable accomplishments and great responsibilities. Even in adolescence, the young Americans of the founding era were scholars, diplomats, even military leaders. Have we failed to recognize the potential in our young people today? Is it time for Americans to raise their expectations for the next generation?
- DirectorTom NewmanPolling shows that over half of Americans believe we live in a Christian nation. But statistics alone do not prove this. So what does it mean to be a Christian nation? Did the Bible really influence our nation's values and institutions? By acknowledging America's Judeo-Christian heritage, do we threaten the freedom of other religions? For many people studying our nation's history, separating fact from fiction can be as confusing as the separation of church and state. From the Jefferson Bible to the Salem Witch Trial, it's time to confront the good, the bad, and the ugly moments in our nation's history and debunk some of America's greatest myths along the way. Throughout history, nations have experimented with various forms of government. From tyrannies and monarchies to democracies and republics, the world has witnessed the triumphs and failures of these governing institutions. So where does America fit within these categories? Are we a democracy or a republic? How did the Founding Fathers choose America's government? And most importantly, what forms of government work best?
- DirectorTom NewmanThis generation of Americans is taught that our government was established as a secular institution. But the founders believed God was a part of everything, including government. So what are we to make the separation of church and state? How should God and government intersect in today's America? The early American pastor had a reputation as a courageous and fearless leader. In that era, silence was not an option and the word of God was boldly proclaimed as the handbook for life, speaking to everything from morals and values, to public policy and current events. What can we learn from these brave leaders? How can Christians today cultivate a courageous church? Our Founders shared a deep sense of responsibility to care for the poor. But unlike many people today, they believed this duty belonged to churches and individuals, rather than government. Today, many Americans relegate the task of caring for the needy to government programs. So whose job should it be to care for the poor? Who does it better? What is the Biblical approach to public aid?
