A remarkable shift is sweeping across America as citizens rediscover their nation's true history and founding principles. This renewed enthusiasm couldn't come at a better time, with the 250th anniversary of American independence on the horizon.
JP Decker, executive director of Mercury One and American Journey Experience, joins us to discuss how this convergence of presidential support, organizational readiness, and public hunger for authentic history creates unprecedented opportunities. "God has been preparing us for this moment," Decker explains, highlighting how years of groundwork are now bearing fruit as Americans seek deeper understanding of their heritage.
What makes their approach unique is the hands-on connection to history they provide. While most museums keep artifacts behind glass, Mercury One's collection of over 100,000 historical items allows visitors to physically hold Revolution-era muskets or George Washington's personal compass. This tangible link transforms abstract historical concepts into visceral experiences that foster deeper understanding and connection.
Beyond preserving America's history, Mercury One demonstrates private sector solutions far outperform government agencies in addressing national challenges. Their disaster relief efforts consistently arrive before FEMA, partner effectively with local churches, and ensure 100% of donations reach affected communities. From tornado recovery across multiple states to rebuilding homes in North Carolina and Hawaii, they exemplify the American tradition of community-based solutions.
Their educational initiatives—family seminars, teacher conferences, and the Summer Institute for young adults—provide comprehensive historical education rooted in original documents. Meanwhile, their digital preservation efforts are making authentic historical resources accessible to anyone committed to personal research.
As the 250th anniversary approaches, spanning 14 months beginning in 2025, Americans have an unprecedented opportunity to participate in rediscovering their heritage. This celebration will feature thousands of community events nationwide that educate as much as they commemorate—not just fireworks and hot dogs, but a genuine reconnection with the exceptional nature of the American experiment.
