George Washington’s Sacred Fire

Dr. Jerry Newcombe

What is the “sacred fire of liberty”? Why does that matter? In his First Inaugural Address on April 30, 1789, President George Washington said, “The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.” Dr. Jerry Newcombe is here to discuss this.

Dr. Jerry Newcombe serves as the executive director of the Providence Forum and as senior producer and an on-air host and a columnist for D. James Kennedy Ministries. Jerry has produced or co-produced more than 80 one-hour television specials that have aired nationwide. Jerry is the co-author of bestsellers, George Washington’s Sacred Fire (with Dr. Peter Lillback) and What If Jesus Had Never Been Born? (with Dr. Kennedy). He is an associate minister at New Presbyterian Church, Wilton Manors, Florida. Jerry is married with two children and three grandchildren.
