Drop us a note about the podcast. It’s impossible to have a love for America, without having a love for education. That doesn’t mean that education looks the same for everyone, but that means that you have to have a desire for the ability of people to be educated. Listen to the words of some of our founders.

Drop us a note about the podcast. We’ll start the first part of a series today talking about the irreconcilable divide in America.

Drop us a note about the podcast. We will finish up going through the commandments today referencing some of the laws that speak about them.

Drop us a note about the podcast. The Bible had a huge influence on the founding of our nation, as we talk about often. Specifically the Ten Commandments affected colonial law, common law before that, and state law after that for centuries. We cannot have our republic survive without the commands of God.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Listen to the words of one of our great scientists about his relationship with God.  We have bought into the lie that science and God are enemies and that God has no role in education… it is a complete lie.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Christianity is often used as an excuse to justify the welfare state. It would be hard for this to be farther from the truth. We have a responsibility to care for the poor needy as individuals, not to steal from others to pretend at benevolence.

Drop us a note about the podcast. As Christians we have a responsibility to submit to godly authority. But we also have a responsibility to resist evil, and to resist evil men.

Drop us a note about the podcast. No matter what the left says, the first amendment was never written to exclude Christianity from our public life and institutions.

Drop us a note about the podcast. In a Christian nation, as Christians, we have a duty to be involved politically. As Americans in general, we have a responsibility to prefer Christians as our rulers. We must have leadership from the Church again.  Support the show The American Soul Podcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe Countryside Book Series https://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book...

Drop us a note about the podcast. Feminism was supposed to make the lives of women and our nation better. But as we look back over the past 50 to even 70 years, has it? Are women happier? Is our nation stronger or safer?

Drop us a note about the podcast. Despite what the modern American left says, America was absolutely founded as a Christian nation. Even before she was a republic, America has been Christian.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Contrary to the narrative pushed over the last several decades plus, science and faith in God and Jesus Christ are not incompatible.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Why have we allowed ourselves to be tricked or forced into buying into the lie that America was born a secular nation?

Drop us a note about the podcast. Pretending that something isn’t so, doesn’t make it true. Just because we ignore problems in our marriages and our families and our country, doesn’t mean they will go away. And just because we hope that we won’t have to get in a fight, doesn’t mean that we can actually avoid it. Support the show The American Soul Podcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscrib...

Drop us a note about the podcast. In order to have a strong nation, we need an educated citizenry. Part of that includes public education. But we have forgotten and rejected the original purpose of public education. We have to get back to that.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Emancipation and ratification of the 13th amendment, are both just one more example of our country turning to God in times of despair and times of hope.

Drop us a note about the podcast. We have been far too lax over the last several decades about what we consume as far as entertainment. We have not paid attention, not real attention, to the character, values, and morals in what we consume. What we consume eventually dictates the way we act. Our country can no longer survive this indifference in attitude. Support the show The American Soul Podcast...

Drop us a note about the podcast. One of the greatest destructions to our country has been the dismantling of the family unit, and in particular of marriage. Without strong marriages we can’t have strong families, and without strong families we can’t have a strong nation. But we have to purposefully teach our children how to be good husbands and good wives. Support the show The American Soul Podca...

Drop us a note about the podcast. When printing books was not a simple matter, where did our pilgrim fathers and mothers and our founders turn? They turned to the Bible. If we are supposed to be such a secular nation, why in the world with these great explorers and leaders continually turn back to the Bible?
