Experience the American dream with today’s Patriot of the Past interview. I’m your host, John Gillespie.
It’s August 2, 1783. I’m in London, England, at the court of King George III with Lord Jones.
JG: “Excuse me, Lord Jones, what would you attribute to the success of America over England?”
LWJ: “Sir Gillespie, I fix all the blame for these extra-ordinary proceedings upon the Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. They cry ‘No King but King Jesus!’ We shall see how long their new king guides them!”
As the psalmist says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”

John and Jan Gillespie are the founders of the Rawhide Boys’ Ranch; they have fostered 351 teenagers and wrote the book Our 351 Sons; they have also assisted numerous churches in developing youth programs and expanding their total church ministries. After running for U.S. Senate, John founded 1776 American Dream, which exists to demonstrate the vision of our founding fathers and help our generation of youth passionately embrace those values.
