By Colt Wilder, Rooted In Liberty

There was a time when front porches weren’t just a place to leave your boots—they were the heartbeat of the American home. After a hard day’s work, you’d find neighbors swapping stories, kids chasing fireflies, and a Bible resting on the armrest next to a glass of sweet tea. No phones. No distractions. Just people—rooted in their land, in their faith, and in each other.

We’ve lost some of that.

You know it. I know it. And deep down, even the fella glued to his phone at a red light knows it too.

What Happened to the American Soul?

We didn’t lose America all at once. It wasn’t taken in the dead of night or stolen outright. No, it was traded—one small compromise at a time.

We let faith become a private affair instead of a public compass.
We let family dinners get replaced by screen time and Uber Eats.
We let the flag be politicized instead of protected.
And worst of all—we stopped talking to each other.

But I’ll tell you something real: you can measure the strength of a country by the strength of its front porches. If we bring those back—if we rebuild our communities, one conversation, one tradition, one homegrown tomato at a time—we might just reclaim something even greater than freedom.

We might reclaim belonging.

Faith, Family, and the Fire Inside

Rooted In Liberty wasn’t born from a marketing plan or a brainstorm session in some glass tower. It was born around a firepit, deep in the heartland, with folks like you and me asking, “How do we get back what matters?”

We don’t pretend to have all the answers. But we believe in a few timeless truths:

• Faith is the foundation. Not some quiet thing you only pull out on Sunday morning. No sir. It’s the guidepost for how we treat each other, how we raise our kids, and how we stand firm when the world pushes back.

• Family is the fortress. It’s not about perfect holiday dinners or curated social media posts. It’s about standing together when things fall apart. It’s about grit, grace, and doing the hard work of showing up—for your spouse, your children, your elders.

• Freedom is worth fighting for. And that fight doesn’t always look like a battlefield. Sometimes, it looks like teaching your kids how to grow their own food. Sometimes, it’s speaking up at a school board meeting. Sometimes, it’s just refusing to bow to convenience when you know the cost is your soul.

We created Rooted In Liberty to be more than a brand. It’s a banner. A rallying point. A toolset for patriots and believers who are ready to rebuild—not the country we see on TV, but the one we know in our hearts.

The Quiet Revolution of the Everyday Patriot

You don’t need to run for office to make an impact. You don’t need a million followers. You need a mission.

Maybe that mission is homeschooling your kids with materials that actually teach the Constitution.
Maybe it’s starting a small business with your spouse.
Maybe it’s taking your family budget seriously and showing your children what stewardship really looks like.
Maybe it’s just inviting the neighbors over for a Sunday meal and offering a prayer before you dig in.

This is how revolutions start. Quietly. Locally. One front porch at a time.

What We’re Building Together

Our digital products aren’t about aesthetics—they’re about arming the modern patriot with tools to stand firm:

• Homestead Setup Guides to restore independence.

• Faith & Family Meal Planners to bring everyone back to the table.

• Constitutional Study Packets for homeschoolers and freedom-curious adults alike.

• Patriotic Budget Planners because stewardship isn’t just financial—it’s moral.

Every product, every printable, every post we put out is built with one mission in mind: Rooted in Faith. Guarded in Freedom. Strengthened by Family.

That’s not just a slogan. That’s a blueprint.

Will You Join Us on the Porch?

So here’s my challenge to you:

Take inventory of your life—your habits, your home, your heart.
Ask yourself: Does this honor what I say I believe?
If the answer is no, don’t feel guilt. Feel fire. Let it light something inside you.

We’ve still got time. The country isn’t lost—it’s just waiting for its people to show up.

So pull up a chair, friend. The porch light is on. Let’s rebuild what matters.
