The Interpretation of History, II (American History to 1865)

• Jul, 08 2025

What if every twist of history—from storms that saved fledgling colonies to bizarre accidents that toppled heretics—weren’t random at all but part of a grand divine design? In our next episode, we challenge the modern myths of meaningless chance and human‑only agency to reveal history as God’s sovereign act, with each of us called not to passivity but to purposeful involvement as His instruments. We’ll confront the despair of blind determinism and the hollowness of secular elitism, unpack dramatic true‑life interventions (including an infamous parade‑ending demise), and explore why every seemingly mundane fact points toward total meaning. Tune in to discover how embracing a providential view transforms our understanding of the past—and empowers our role in God’s unfolding story.
