The massive British Army under the command of General John Burgoyne, was rushing to attack and destroy Washington’s Continental Army.

The Americans needed time to prepare.

And young Thaddeus with his unique skills would give the Americans that time.

Moving fast with his engineers and rangers, Thaddeus and his team cut trees in the path of the British, laid out traps and ambushes, built dams to flood the streams and rivers making the trails and roads ahead of the British Army impassable.

The British Army went from covering 60 miles per day to less than two! Bogged down, the powerful and proud British and Hessian forces suddenly found themselves the prey.

And at the ensuing Battle of Saratoga, the American Continental Army defeated the British soundly in the turning point in America’s War for Independence, much credited to a young immigrant to America who served without pay, fame, or glory.

His name was THADDEUS KOSCIUSZKO one of the least known, yet critical American Patriots from our illustrious past. This is his story…

On a sweltering July day in 1863, the quiet town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania exploded!

This tiny hamlet became the center of the decisive battle for the world’s most pivotal nation locked passionately in its final death throes.

The clash between North and South would decide the fate not only of our nation, but by extension, the world.

It would be a horribly bloody three-days producing more than 51,000 casualties—mostly young men—husbands, sons, fathers, and brothers.

And on that critical day, an unknown professor from Maine—JOSHUA LAWRENCE CHAMBERLAIN—who was anything but a professional soldier—a bit spindly and way too intellectual—would etch his name into the annuals of freedom forever…

“I will get my hands on that American woman and destroy her!”

This was the threat of Klaus Barbie, the local Gestapo chief, known as the “Butcher of Lyon.”

The powers of hell seemed to be gathering all around young Virginia Hall. She was simply out of time.

More so, thousands of young American Rangers would be soon landing on the beaches of Normandy. She and her resistance fighters must help prepare the way or thousands would die.

She and her men had to act immediately to cut railway lines, blow up bridges, change road signs, cut phonelines, all the while knowing that the German secret police, the infamous Gestapo, was closing in on her hiding place…

They loved each other for 54 years.

Even as Abigail lay on her deathbed, John sat by her holding her hand.

They had been through everything together—declaring independence from the most powerful empire on earth, the American Revolution, creating a great republic from a divided people, opposing slavery, representing the United States abroad, and then the American presidency.

Abigail and John were a team, perhaps the most important in the history of this country. And what they accomplished changed the course of history, not only for this land, but for the world.

She made 19 highly risky trips back into the South to save hundreds...

During the Civil War she also scouted for the Union Army.

HARRIET TUBMAN is a well-known American hero who risked her life to help escaping slaves.

What is not known about her was what drove her fervently, a passion that is today often suppressed by historians, increasingly removing her powerful testimony of Jesus, and of miracles, from the historical record.

America’s young people need to see how the Spirit of God can be a powerful motivator for good. The true, complete story of Harriet Tubman must be brought back to help rekindle our vital connection to God.

The young woman, Ella, watched as her father and brothers were beheaded before her eyes.

She, along with her younger sister, were tied together with the captive women and children, now the slaves and concubines of the Arab invaders. Ella feared she would never see her mother and her beloved homeland again.

For the first time in history, a great Muslim Army under the command of General Abd-al-Rahman al-Ghafiqi, invaded what would become the heartland of Christian Europe to loot and conquer.

But standing in General Abd-al-Rahman’s way was one of the truly great, yet little-known, heroes of Western Civilization. His name, CHARLES MARTEL. But to his loyal men, Knights of Our Lord, he was known “affectionately” as The Hammer.

In fact, I believe he was prepared purposely by God. In this Episode you will see how the choices, the leadership, the sacrifice of one man shaped who you are today.

CHRISTIANITY / BATTLE OF TOURS / KNIGHTS / INVASION OF EUROPE / ISLAM / ARABS

I was four years old.

Fascinated, I stood on the banks of a storm-swollen, raging river. The next thing I remember I was tumbling beneath the rapids, being washed into the depths.

But as I turned over under the frigid torrent I could see up through the water the face of a Bonafide angel. His arms were reaching for me, stretching until he snagged my coat. He then pulled me up from the cold and set me on dry ground.

I remember looking up at him, he seemed so big, but I later learned he was just a kid, only sixteen years old. Though, to me that day, he was an angel in disguise, rescuing me from a watery grave.

Since then, I have had several truly unique encounters with true angelic heroes sent, somehow, from a Divine realm and for a purpose. And what that mission is we will discuss in this week’s podcast…

This is a story few Americans have ever heard.

We consider this a travesty, for it is America’s history, a story of adventure, tragedy, unbelievable professional skill, and undying dedication to a cause.

The story of how America’s crack engineers and divers not only rescued many of the American sailors trapped within the navy ships sunk during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, but also how nearly every one of the 18 sunk and bomb-damaged warships were repaired, floated, then recommissioned and upgraded to get back in the fight.

In fact, many of these same warships, once resurrected and modernized, were sent back in the fight against the Japanese Navy, culminating in the major naval battle of Leyte Gulf on October 22, 1944.

On that day, the passionately undeterred US Navy attacked and sent to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean what remained of the Japanese Navy. The Pearl Harbor disaster, for most Americans, required a reckoning.

These skilled naval engineers and divers, at great risk to their own lives, determined that those same ships Japan had brutally destroyed would return and lead the way in the ultimate defeat of the Japanese Empire. And that’s exactly what happened!
