America Turned 250. We’re Just Getting Started.
Hey y'all!
Back in July, America turned 250. The fireworks are over, the parades have packed up, and most folks have moved on to the next thing.
But I keep coming back to something. A birthday like that isn't an ending. It's a reminder that the story is still being told, and our kids are the next ones who need to hear it.
That's why I made something for your family, and it's why I'm telling you now: this is only the beginning.
A free comic to start with
I put together a free one-page comic called America at 250. It's a visual walk through the people and ideas that shaped America, made for upper elementary through high school (younger ones can follow along with a parent or teacher). Use it as a quick history lesson, a discussion starter at the table, or a handout for your homeschool co-op.
It's free. Just add it to your cart and check out, and the download is yours.

What's coming next
Here's the part I'm most excited about. I have plans for a whole line of founders of America comics. Full-length, educational, the kind of thing your kids will actually want to read and you'll actually want them reading.
The America at 250 comic is the first taste. Think of it as the front porch. The house is still being built, and I can't wait to show you what's inside.
You don't have to wait to start
While those comics are in the works, there's already a shelf of founder stories waiting for you here.
If you haven't read it yet, start with Roger Sherman: Strong Pillar of the Revolution. He's the only founder to sign all four of America's founding documents, and his story is one of my favorites. There's also a companion podcast episode where we dig into his life, plus another one on the remarkable wives who stood behind him. You can find the show on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
You'll also find posts on Dr. Matthew Thornton, the surgeon turned signer of the Declaration, and his wife Hannah, whose quiet faith held their family steady through the Revolution. Browse them all in theg history blo.
And if your family learns best by watching, we filmed right where history happened at Kings Mountain: a Revolutionary War battle lesson and a day on the historic farm. They're on our YouTube channel, and you can find everything in one place on our Watch & Listen page.
The story goes on
The 250th birthday came and went. But the men and women who built this country, their faith, their courage, the price they paid, that story doesn't expire. I'm grateful I get to help tell it to the next generation, one comic at a time.
To God be the glory.
