The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty by Dr. James Dobson

October 3-4, 2022
Guest: Eric Metaxas

Part 1:
As Americans, we are blessed to enjoy the fruits of our freedom, born out of the hardship of generations past. But we need to be aware of something very important: liberty is fragile. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Eric Metaxas discuss Eric’s book, If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty. Metaxas points to author and social critic Os Guinness’ notion of the “golden triangle of freedom,” which states that freedom requires virtue, virtue requires faith, and faith requires freedom. Sadly, we have forgotten America’s precious history, and are thus in danger of losing our republic.

Part 2:
A fresh cut floral arrangement is symbolic of America. Severed from our historical Christian roots at the hands of a hostile culture, we are dying as a nation. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Eric Metaxas continue to discuss the state of our country and Eric’s book, If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty. Dr. Dobson and Metaxas remind us of the importance of American liberty, and what we can do as a nation to save it. Without cultivating the knowledge of our country's history, we cannot hope to shape its future.
