The commandant pressed a pistol against Edmonds' forehead and threatened to shoot him on the spot. Still, Edmonds refused to back down. "If you shoot me," he said, "you will have to shoot us all." The commandant had no choice but to turn and walk away.
Every choice we make matters. Every act of courage echoes in eternity. Roddie Edmonds did not stand alone on that frozen morning in a Nazi prison camp. He stood with his fellow Americans and with the God who made each and every one of us in His image. Together, they faced down evil and won, reminding us that with God, all things are possible.

"Rededicate yourself, or dedicate yourself to the first time to holiness, because holiness is what makes us sinners into saints. And perhaps that is what God is asking of us again as a nation, to reopen our hearts to Him, so that these shores once filled with those poor, tired, huddled masses may forever remain the land of the free and the home of the brave."

"In this moment, I don't want it to be lost on us of what we are experiencing today, of what's going on here, that we had a president and a staff surrounding him that saw the importance and the need to call before God.
Because for 250 years, this nation has returned again and again to the God who created this beautiful country that we get to call home. We do this not because we're perfect people, we're not, but woven into the fabric of America is a deep and persistent belief that we cannot persevere on our own, that we need God."

"From the Founding through today, God hears our prayers and miracles still happen. I know because I interview those who have experienced them in war, in sickness, and in tragedy.
On August 28th, 2013, the Taliban attacked Master Sergeant Earl Plumlee's camp in Afghanistan. Sergeant Plumlee decided to sacrifice himself to save others.
He rushed toward enemy forces without cover and with only a pistol to defend himself. The Taliban fired over 300 bullets at him from just yards away, but miraculously, he was never hit. When I asked him who was praying for him, he told me the night before the attack, his mom's Bible study prayed for divine protection for him.
God saved him when nothing else could."

"I am honored to be here today. On July 4th of last summer, I went to bed after a long day of doing what I loved most. I was a camp counselor at Camp Mystic, where I was honored to care for 17 campers. It was my second summer as a counselor there.
I do not believe I was asked to be here today because of anything heroic I did that night. In fact, I could name many other girls who I feel deserve to be here much more than I do. But I do believe I'm here to share what God has done in my life.
Not a day has gone by that I do not remember that night, leading my girls out of our cabin through rising waters towards Rec Hall on higher ground. I remember 100 of us climbing to the second floor and crowding onto a narrow balcony, watching water rise to just inches below our feet.
