Once a month: real, authentic stories from American history, and one lesson in leadership, discipleship, and heritage you can live out now. Learn from the people who blazed the trail before us, and understand who we are as Americans. The Chronicles community goes behind the history. It’s a community for leaders, learners, and everyday people who want more from their lives.
What Arrives Each Month
The best lessons
The best lessons we found that month, and the true stories behind them. Every photograph credited to the archive that holds it.
One long read
One lesson told all the way through: the leader, the decision, what it cost, and what it still teaches us today, with the names, the places and the sources.
The month ahead
A look at the month ahead in American history: the anniversaries worth remembering, and why.
One lesson worth keeping
What the people who built America can still teach us about how to live.

Around the Fire, Live
Once a quarter, the Chronicles community gathers online.
We put one photograph, letter or map on the screen and look closely together: who is in it, what they were up against and what happened after the shutter clicked. Then we take your questions.

What Your Family Kept
Somebody kept it. Let’s tell their story.
Every family keeps something. A letter in a shoebox. A photograph in a drawer. A map, a journal, a Bible with names written inside the cover.
Members bring them to us. We look closely, do the digging and tell the story right, credited to your family by name.
