Tim \;Barton \;&nb sp\;joins us to \;talk about \;The American Story: The Beginnings. \;No other nation in the world has experienced the widespread level s of stability\, individual prosperity\, and personal freedoms that have d efined this nation. What made us different from other nations? \; Our past is filled with captivating accounts of the brave and the cowardly\; o f heroes and villains\; of atrocities\, corruption\, and greed as well as self-sacrifice\, honor\, and redemption. America is not perfect. Yet we ha ve a compelling story of those seeking religious and civil freedom\, escap ing oppression\, pursuing opportunity\, and often joining hands to achieve common goals. \;The American Story \;highlights this cooperation and presents some of the interesting moments and people that reveal God's Providence in America. \; \;
