T5655-Healing More Than Bodies—Healing a Nation - Lyman Hall

“Healing More Than Bodies—Healing a Nation.”
At 52 years old, and the 55th man to sign the Declaration of Independence, Lyman Hall brought the heart of a healer and the conscience of a servant to the cause of liberty. A former minister turned physician, Hall came from Connecticut but found his destiny in Georgia—a colony divided and hesitant about independence.


When the question came before Congress, Hall stood firm. With pen in hand and the weight of an unborn nation on his shoulders, he cast his vote and signed, knowing it could cost him everything. For Hall, healing wasn’t just about mending the body—it was about restoring the soul of a people.


The British would later torch his home and terrorize his family, but he never wavered. Liberty is not without cost, but it is always worth the sacrifice.


Hall’s courage reminds us that freedom isn’t only forged by soldiers and statesmen—it’s built by those willing to do what is right, no matter the risk. He made his stand in his time. Now, friend, it is yours.
