Beschreibung

Society used to have standards for beauty, and we walked away from them. Postmodernism told us truth is subjective and anything goes, so we went from Saint Peter's Basilica to strip mall churches, from classical music to profanity-laced pop, from architecture that stopped you in your tracks to buildings that are just boxes. The people who built those great cathedrals spent their entire lives on something they'd never see finished. That kind of dedication tells you something about what they believed. C.S. Lewis said there is no neutral ground in the universe. Every square inch is claimed by God and counterclaimed by Satan. The way a society builds, dresses, and makes art is never neutral. What we've lost goes deeper than aesthetic taste. Beauty comes from God. When a culture stops caring about one, it usually stops caring about the other.

Episode 65: The Patriotic Children's Book America Needs Right Now

At a time where patriotism is decreasing it is important, now more than ever, to pass American values onto the next generation. As the 250th birthday of our great nation approaches, Amanda Martin has stepped in to make learning and celebrating American history fun through her new children's book: Henry the Star-Spangled Spaniel. In the book, Henry goes back in history to witness key moments and brings young readers along with him.  In this episode, Amanda and Grace discuss the new book, literacy among young Americans, why patriotism should not be partisan, and how parents can make America’s founding story fun for kids again. Children are often more open to American history than adults give them credit for--Henry is proving this! Find the book everywhere today to celebrate our 250th anniversary with the children in your life!

Episode 64: Democrats’ Patriotism PLUMMETS

America turns 250 this year, and a new poll says 29% of Democrats aren't proud to be American anymore. A lot of them won't even fly the flag on the 4th! In this episode, I walk through the numbers, and some of them are genuinely hard to look at. Pride on the left has cratered. The two parties can't even agree on what the 4th of July is for. And there's the State of the Union moment Democrats refused to stand for. I also get into why it's happening, from what kids are taught in school to what the media rewards, plus a comfort that's quietly crowded out gratitude. The point is simple: your patriotism shouldn't rise and fall with whoever sits in the White House. It goes back to the God-given rights the founders put everything on the line to protect.
