My life’s work is dedicated to uncovering the profound connection between our personal healing and our national purpose. As a survivor of adverse childhood experiences, I discovered that the restorative power of Genesis 1:28 is the 'software' our country's founding 'hardware' needs. By addressing trauma through the lens of biblical restoration and constitutional vision, we can fulfill the cultural mandate and finish the sacred work our founders began. This movement is a call to heal the past to secure a hopeful, purposeful future for all Americans.
Who I Am
Why This Movement Exists
Freedom 1:28 exists to call America back to its primary directive—the cultural mandate of Genesis 1:28—by addressing the root cause of our national decline: unhealed Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). For too long, we have tried to operate our constitutional 'hardware' with broken cultural 'software.' We believe that true restoration begins when we treat our past wounds with the same reverence the founders used to secure our future. This movement is about finishing their work by healing the individuals who will lead the next generation into a vision of biblical flourishing and constitutional integrity.
The Hardware / Software Analogy
Think of America’s founding documents—the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence—as the nation's hardware. They provide the structural framework, the laws, and the systems through which our society operates.
However, hardware alone cannot function. It requires software to run properly. In this movement, we believe the Cultural Mandate of Genesis 1:28 is the essential software that brings purpose and direction to our national hardware.
When our internal 'software' is corrupted by Adverse Childhood Experiences, the system begins to fail. Healing these trauma-induced bugs allows us to restore our individual and collective purpose, ensuring the hardware of America serves its true intended vision.
