Happy Independence Day!

As America celebrates 250 years of liberty, fireworks, and family gatherings, we pause to ask a deeper question: where do our rights come from?

In this special episode, Preacher Dad Jarod Hinton explores the biblical truth that our rights are not created by government but given by God. Governments may recognize or protect them, but they cannot originate them.

Jarod also reflects on the Founding Fathers’ belief that true liberty is rooted in the Creator—and why that foundation still matters today.

This isn’t just reflection, though—it’s gratitude. A celebration of a nation that has, for 250 years, sought to protect those God-given freedoms and become a unique testimony in history.

Whether you’re at a cookout, on the road, or watching fireworks, this episode invites you to remember both the Giver of liberty and the blessings of a nation built to defend it.

Happy Birthday, America—may we never forget the source of our freedom.

This week's panel digs into the bad fatherhood advice that somehow everyone still believes, what our kids genuinely wish we gave more of our time and attention to, and why those two things might be more connected than we think.
