Your empty journal, at the edge of a river at sunrise. Take it there and write Volume Two with us to inspire American unity, with a response to a one-question interview. Life has been chaotic for the Liberatus team—and honestly for most Americans. But we make our country mor…

It has not been an easy couple of years for us as we finished Volume One, and it hasn’t been easy for our partners @borderperspective and @refugecoffeeco either. But anything we hope to create in life requires us to build endurance. When we do that over the long haul, and co…

As we think about the next 40 years, we believe that we make our country more just and free not by excluding others but rather by collaborating and building trust; before Jesus was betrayed, he prayed that the whole world would know the unity that exists in God and is possib…

In 1864, Abraham Lincoln gave a speech saying that the world has never had a good definition for the word liberty, or freedom. And all of us who care about good governance can agree: while we say we fight for freedom, there are many who never had freedom, and our work to sec…

Five and a half years in the making, Liberatus Volume One offers a deeper perspective to see the human experience holistically, through the eyes of our Creator. It’s a groundbreaking, foundational, transformative, and timeless approach to American self-governance to strength…

Here’s a note from founder @calebbpaxton on 8 years:

First, thank you to our founding donors, followed by our creators and all of our donors who made the creative pursuit of truth and beauty, and now inspiration for American unity, a rea…

The problem with division isn’t that it’s not nice; it’s that it’s not true. Humanity’s full story arc from a Christian perspective begins in original goodness and ends in restoration. As American citizens and as people of faith, that’s the story that we get to not only tell…

“That’s injustice, so ___ .”

When you see injustice, how do you respond? We can’t solve all the world’s problems—and the meaning of Christmas, as Henri Nouwen once wrote, is that we have hope that justice will come. When we are deeply grounded in the love that God has for u…

If you’ve tuned politics out because it’s ugly, we hear you. And that’s why we created Liberatus. The truth is, people who work in politics are sick of politics too. We shouldn’t have to choose a side that excludes half the truth and half our country. Instead, we can choose …

What does Christmas mean for politics? From a journal entry in 2015, written by a then Staff Assistant on Capitol Hill:

“This world’s value structure does not reflect ultimate reality. The Lord weighs the heart, and values ‘a broken and contrite spirit.’ Count others as mo…

A fence in the middle of a field. Step into the story of why we advocate for the displaced with us and our partner orgs @borderperspective and @refugecoffeeco by getting a copy of Volume One—or by joining our team as we create Volume Two and reach for the big goal of biannua…

[Liberatus @LiberatusDC]

Volume Two will be a sequel to Volume One and may or may not feature alien palm trees in South Texas. Advocacy for the displaced requires a spirit of endurance to stay the course. The story continues, because the story of restoration continues, and you can write season two w…

Setting a new FKT (Fastest Known Time) around a section of border fence that’s at the corner of two dirt roads in a field on US soil. Our trip to the US-Mexico border was heavy in many ways, but we also found moments of fun. Read about the trip, and the @borderperspective or…

Get out and vote today! The way we self-govern matters. Those who flee violence come to the United States in part because we still work hard to make our democratic-republic work. It’s up to us to keep that legacy going and improv…

“The joy of Jesus lifts up life to be celebrated.” The Henri Nouwen Daily Meditation for June 7, 2019, the day we concluded our trip to the border, was titled “Joy Flows From Communion With God.” It was a fitting way to end our trip because Henri noted that the joy we can ha…

The theme of Volume Two will be Motive, and we will continue the story we began in Volume One. We are looking forward to a return trip to the US-Mexico border with @borderperspective and @yonathanmoya during this creative cycle. To claim your copy of Volume Two now from the …

For 7.5 years, Americans across the entire political spectrum have written and contributed to the Liberatus mission. The wording of it has evolved over the years, but the foundational ethos has remained the same: a deeper contemplative look at American politics, connection a…

Americans always know how to solve problems and make progress; it’s our character. Liberatus offers inspiration for American unity to help you do that—for your kids, grandkids, nieces, and nephews. Because Americans can do anything.
