Drop us a note about the podcast. As Christians (and as a Christian nation) we have a responsibility to submit to authority.  This includes government. However if government leaders—including congress and the president today as was the case with parliament and the king in the mid-late 1700’s—reject God’s commands we have no responsibility to follow them.  In fact we have a responsibility to resist...

Drop us a note about the podcast. Up until the early/middle part of the twentieth century our nation educated her children with the Bible as the cornerstone of their education. For the last century or so we have seen more and more educators and legislators and judges take God and the Bible out of education and replace Him with the State.  Listen to their words… they are telling us exactly what the...

Drop us a note about the podcast. If parents spend 3-5 hours a day with their children and educators and coaches spend 8-12 hours a day with our children… Who is actually raising our nation’s children?  And what exactly are they teaching them?

Drop us a note about the podcast. Our nation and our first educational institutions were founded on the principles of Christ.  Our Declaration proclaims this to the world and our colleges and universities has these principles sewn into their very fabric.  The farther we stray from these principles the more and more our nation and our system of education unravels.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Fischer Ames, author of the First Amendment, believed the Bible should be the principle text of education in America.  Let that sink in.  The person who created the First Amendment wanted God and the Bible in classrooms in America; not the completely false narrative of modern separation of church and state.

Drop us a note about the podcast. From the very beginning—our first Supreme Court Chief Justice—our nation was acknowledged to be Christian, to be founded on the teachings of Christ.  The modern Supreme Court (and their supporters) going against that are the ones out of step with truth and history; they are the ones in the wrong; not those who openly admit that America is a Christian nation. Suppo...

Drop us a note about the podcast. America must have a “moral and religious people.”  This doesn’t mean we have priests who are lawyers, doctors, teachers, electricians, playwrights, etc.  It means we must have professionals who in their careers and private lives follow the teachings of Christ which serve as the bedrock of our nation.

Drop us a note about the podcast. You cannot claim to love America if you do not love her principles.  You cannot claim to be an American and at the same time claim to be a hyphenated American. Immigrants who (legally) come to America seeking a better life should be welcomed with open arms, but we must insist they assimilate into our society and support our nation’s values.  This has been the trad...

Drop us a note about the podcast. There are some very deceptive comments today about God’s commands for immigrants and how that applies to illegal immigration.  We need to have one standard for the foreigner and the native alike and we absolutely do not have that today.  We are making two separate classes of people via illegal immigration.

Drop us a note about the podcast. If you don’t have the character to respect our national flag and anthem, to honor the sacrifice of so many men and women throughout our history, you have no right to wear a jersey or play one single game for Team USA. Go play for yourself; go make your money and gain your fame.  Don’t disgrace our veterans, Team USA and our nation. Support the show The American So...

Drop us a note about the podcast. Children’s literature and education today look vastly different than they did a century ago. As far as faith and patriotism go, this is not a good thing.  Education and children’s literature used to promote the teachings of Christ and love for our republic’s founding faith and principles .  We need to get back to this.

Drop us a note about the podcast. 100 years later, those who despise America and her founding faith and principles are executing the plan that Lenin laid out in 1921. And a huge part of this plan is centered on the education of our children. Take a listen to Lenin’s directive, and then take a look at what we are doing in America today.

Drop us a note about the podcast. American education, just like our nation herself, was born with a foundation on Christ.  We can see this in our great universities and our great teachers.  The farther we have moved from Christ, the more destructive and the less useful and purposeful our education system has become.  We must get back to Christ.

Drop us a note about the podcast. This Supreme Court case shows again and again and again that America was born a Christian nation. From state constitutions to oaths of office, the overwhelming evidence is that our republic can only rest secure on the principles of Christ. Don’t ever give into the modern lie of separation of church and state. Support the show The American Soul Podcast https://www....

Drop us a note about the podcast. Our founders knew that education must be centered on God and the Bible. They set it up that way.  Taking God and the Bible out of education has done nothing but help destabilize our nation and destroy the fabric of our society. We must get God and the Bible back into education if we have any hope of being strong and stable. Support the show The American Soul Podca...

Drop us a note about the podcast. Not only our famous leaders, but members of our founding generation believed in God and Christ. Even more than that they realized our republic could only survive with a people who followed the teachings of Christ, a moral and religious people.

We don’t have a responsibility to convict people, to convince people of the truth; we have a responsibility to tell the truth. America was founded by Christians, we need people who follow the principles of Christ again to stand up for the truth. Support the show...

Drop us a note about the podcast. America is a Christian nation. We have a responsibility to care for the poor and needy. However socialism, taking by force from some to “give” to others, is not following the teachings of Christ and has no place in America. There is nothing loving or caring about acting that way.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Our great leaders have long acknowledged that America was born a Christian nation. Look at the actual words of some of our presidents. Don’t ever apologize for stating that truth.  Don’t ever apologize for pushing back on the complete modern lie of separation of church and state. That truth, Christ, is the only hope of saving our republic we have today. Support th...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.… We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rec...

Drop us a note about the podcast. America was founded on the idea of merit. Men and women earned their accolades based upon their character and achievements. Sadly today we have become a society of double standards. We have become a society that requires different groups of people to compete under differing standards, but pretend everyone is competing under the same standards. Here again we see th...

Drop us a note about the podcast. “Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?”  This is Jefferson’s question and over two centuries later the answer is blatantly clear—no.  If we do not acknowledge and honor God’s place in the founding and functioning of our republic, we are fools to expect our liberties and freedom to surviv...

Drop us a note about the podcast. In order for our nation to succeed, we must have professionals who are Christians. This doesn’t mean we must have all people be pastors first; it means we must have lawyers, doctors, carpenters, plumbers, playwrights and educators who follow the principles of Christ. CS Lewis spoke of this and the Apollo 8 Christmas Eve message is a great example of this. Without...

Drop us a note about the podcast. Even those from outside America have long known that the greatness of our republic rests solely upon our relationship with God and Jesus Christ.  Romulo, Malik, De Touqueville—these are just a tiny example of those who have come to America and seen we are great because we are good, and that we can only be good so long as we follow Christ’s principles.

Drop us a note about the podcast. This court case, from over a century after the founding of our nation, shows that America is a Christian nation.
