Knowing God by Name

Guest: Pastor Matt Morrell

CURRENT PROGRAM: August 8, 2026

CURRENT PROGRAM: AUGUST 08, 2026

GUEST: TODD FRIEL, Executive Director of Fortis Institute

This Memorial Day Weekend, as we honor the sacrifice of so many members of the military over the generations who gave their lives in defense of our country and freedoms, we ought to thank God for His goodness, patience, and protection of our nation.

This year we commemorate 250 years as an independent nation. The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 and references God four times as the source of our rights, laws, guidance, and protection. Indeed, early Americans and our history were overtly Christian. But as rebellion against God lurks in the heart of man, we have strayed very far from that today.

The Trump Administration, along with public and private organizations, are seeking to change that, to rededicate our nation to God. One week ago, a large event was held in Washington DC called Rededicate 250, promoted as “A National Jubilee Of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving. Freedom 250 Invites All Americans to Come Together in Prayer and Worship Ahead of the Nation’s 250th Birthday.”

Todd Friel, pastor of Alpharetta Bible Church (GA), host of Wretched TV and Radio, and executive director of the Fortis Institute, joins us to discuss several aspects of Rededicate 250 and whether it can lead to Christian revival in our nation. We will also discuss one of the reasons Americans have been persuaded away from God—the college campus.

It includes FREE faithful biblical resources such as Wretched, Road Trip to Truth, Transformed, podcasts, Bible teaching, apologetics, and other resources to strengthen believers and churches and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
