The Foundation for Freedom Conference
Exploring the Origins of Our Freedoms and Their Relevance Today
What is the Foundation for Freedom, and how does it shape our understanding of America’s founding documents? How have historical and contemporary challenges tested the faith and freedoms of the American people? These are the critical questions we explore at our conferences.
Your perception of freedom’s foundation directly influences how you interpret and address the challenges facing society today. If one believes that humanity is a product of random chance and that freedom is merely self-imposed, then liberty is fluid—detached from any inherent design or higher authority. However, if one sees design in creation, with a Creator as its source, then freedom is inalienable—rooted in divine intent rather than human will. These differing worldviews shape how we navigate life, governance, and the preservation of fundamental rights.
Thinking Outside the Box
A powerful illustration of this principle is a simple problem-solving exercise: connecting nine dots arranged in a square using only four straight lines without lifting the pencil. If one assumes the solution must remain within the square’s boundaries, the problem appears unsolvable. Only by thinking beyond perceived limits can the solution be found.
Similarly, our Founding Fathers recognized that true freedom is not granted by government but is God-given and inalienable. This belief led them to establish a Constitutional Republic rather than a pure democracy. In a democracy, a simple majority (51%) can dictate laws—even at the expense of individual rights. A Constitutional Republic, however, provides safeguards to ensure that no government, official, or even a majority of the people can strip away those rights. It establishes a system that preserves, protects, and defends individual freedoms, ensuring they remain beyond the reach of political whims.
The Purpose of Our Conferences
The goal of our conferences is to bring together people of faith to explore the Foundation for Freedom in the context of our founding documents, historical applications, and contemporary challenges. We seek to foster meaningful dialogue and identify solutions that will uphold and protect these freedoms in our modern world.
Our first conference in September of 2024 was launched after a 120-day effort to introduce the concept of a Constitutional Renaissance, advocating the use of Constitutional County Ordinances and Resolutions as tools to reinforce these principles. Over the next two years, our goal is to see two-thirds of Florida’s counties adopt measures that protect not just the Second Amendment but the entire Bill of Rights from governmental overreach.
Building Momentum for the Future
Our conference has already drawn participants from across Florida and beyond, bringing together leaders from various spheres of influence to engage in these crucial discussions. The momentum we have built continues to grow, and we invite you to be a part of this movement.
As we move into 2025, this conversation becomes even more relevant. Now, more than ever, we must understand where our rights come from, remain vigilant in protecting them, and uphold our responsibilities as citizens to ensure their preservation for future generations.
Our hope and prayer is that you will join us in this conversation—to unite our nation around its founding principles and secure the Foundation for Freedom for generations to come.
