The Return to Greatness
Rev. Kat Carroll
About a 3 minute read.
After yesterday's Easter celebration of the Resurrection of Christ, and my last article, The Leaven of Love – Let it Rise in You, this information follows quite nicely. Our Nation appears to be rising as well.
Despite media narratives painting a bleak picture of the economy and public sentiment, a closer look reveals something quite different. In an AllSides review of media bias, it's been shown that most of the news outlets lean heavily to the left. As always, it helps to explore multiple sources, step outside of familiar echo chambers, and notice what truly resonates.
Recently, I came across a new source of information that offers a perspective worth considering—Promethean Action. Their April 5th update report presents a narrative that challenges much of what we’ve been hearing, suggesting that some of the economic hardships of recent decades may not have been accidental, but part of a broader global strategy now beginning to shift.

EXPOSED: They Admit Deindustrialization Was Intentional — Liberation Day Proves It”
Rather than summarize the video, I encourage you to watch it and draw your own conclusions.
What stood out to me was how much of what was shared could be supported by current data. And that's important when trying to discern what's true, what's hype, and what is politically motivated. Facts matter.
This isn’t about agreeing with every decision—but about stepping back far enough to see the broader pattern that is emerging.
From a Higher Perspective...
From ground level, everything can feel chaotic—headline to headline, reaction to reaction. But from a higher vantage point, patterns begin to emerge. And with them, a clearer sense of direction. In taking that 50,000 foot view, I came across information that feels not only encouraging—but telling.
Recent data shows that American job growth rebounded strongly in March 2026, with employers adding 178,000 jobs—far exceeding economists' expectations of 60,000 and recovering from a revised loss of 133,000 jobs in February. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.3%, signaling improved labor market conditions. Full Details here: Bureau of Labor Statistics
Key sectors driving this growth include health care and private education. At the same time, job openings rose to 6.95 million in January 2026, up from 6.55 million in December 2025. This suggests that despite a slower pace of hiring in 2025—the weakest since the pandemic—demand for workers remains strong.
And perhaps even more interesting…
Citizen satisfaction with the federal government is also on the rise.
According to findings from the American Customer Satisfaction Index, public satisfaction with U.S. federal government services has reached 70.4—a 19-year high. This steady increase reflects improved service delivery, stronger employee engagement, and a renewed sense of connection between federal workers and the people they serve.
The Congressional Budget Office echoes this trend, noting that economic output is strengthening in 2026, supported by increased activity and policy shifts from the previous year. Employment is expected to continue improving, inflation is gradually stabilizing, and interest rates are projected to level out over time.
All of this points to something subtle, and significant... A shift.
But for many, the deeper question remains: Why has it been so hard for so long?
The answer may be more revealing than the recovery itself.
For decades, economic and geopolitical strategies were shaped by priorities that extended beyond national borders. Policies often emphasized liberal globalization, foreign intervention, and the maintenance of a broader international framework—sometimes referred to as a “rules-based order.” (All of this is explained well in the Promethean video)
While these strategies may have served certain global objectives, the cost was often felt closer to home.
Industries that once formed the backbone of American communities were gradually moved offshore. Manufacturing sectors declined. Entire towns experienced the slow erosion of opportunity, stability, and identity. What many people felt over time was not just economic pressure—but disconnection.
What is beginning to emerge now—through both shifting policies and candid reflections from long-standing architects of that system—is that these outcomes were not entirely accidental. Choices were made that prioritized global integration over local sovereignty.
And yet… What we are witnessing today is not simply a recovery—it is a rebalancing that is long overdue.
A return to the idea that a nation can participate in the global community while still strengthening its own foundations. That sovereignty does not mean isolation, but rather the ability to engage in partnerships that are mutually beneficial. That economic success is not just measured in markets—but in the everyday lives of its people.
The recent rise in employment, the strengthening labor market, and increasing public satisfaction may be early signs of that shift. Not a final destination—but a meaningful change in direction.
And perhaps that is the most hopeful part.
Because if the challenges of the past were shaped by decisions made decades ago, then so is the path forward.
We are not simply witnessing improvement—we are participants in it. Our positive thoughts and intentions, even our visualizations, can have a positive effect on future outcomes.
Even in the midst of global tensions, we are reminded of this in small but meaningful ways, like the recent rescue of a U.S. pilot. He was shot down on Friday, stayed hidden in a crevice on Saturday, and was lifted up, rescued... on Easter Sunday, after leaving a message: "God is good".
A life preserved. A mission completed. A quiet reminder that even in uncertain times, there are profound moments of restoration, and reminders that we are not alone.
And like spring blossoms, the resurrection, or any season of renewal, it does not arrive all at once…
But steadily, quietly—until one day, we look back and realize... something has changed.
Perhaps not just for America, but the whole world.
And we are rising together.
