Brittany Baldwin, executive director of the White House Task Force 250, previewed an upcoming event designed to tell the story “of God’s hand in America throughout 250 years, and to rededicate our nation as one nation under God.”
Rededicate250, scheduled for May 17, will feature speeches from politicians and faith leaders reflecting on God’s faithfulness throughout American history. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R‑La., will lead the rededication.
“It is a powerful statement that the Trump administration celebrates our Judeo‑Christian roots and the fact that that has enabled our society to flourish in a plethora of ways, including respecting religious liberty of Americans of all religions,” Baldwin said.
The event will include video messages from President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as well as a talk from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on George Washington as a leader and man of God.
A nation worth fighting for is a nation worth praying for. Rededicate 250 on Sunday, May 17, will bring patriots from every state together on the National Mall under one flag and one God.

Asked what viewers can expect from Trump’s video, Baldwin said he will likely discuss the role religion has played throughout the country’s history and the importance of Americans of faith continuing to strengthen the nation.
“I think he’ll most likely talk about how religion has always played an important role in our country, and how we need Americans of faith to continue to strengthen and sustain our country, and that under his leadership they’re no longer being persecuted, but instead are being embraced and strengthened,” she said.
