2 Components Necessary for a Prosperous Society
The success of America is, at least in part, dependent upon its citizens’ ability to “self-govern,” John Stonestreet says.
“Faith and family are the most obvious” ingredients required for people to be able to govern themselves, says Stonestreet, president of the nonprofit Colson Center and host of the “Breakpoint” podcast. The Colorado Springs, Colo.-based Colson Center was founded by Chuck Colson, who served in the Nixon administration and went on to become one of the most influential Christian thought leaders of his time.
Why?
Because faith and family “play the most significant role in forming us,” he explained. But today, much of the U.S. population has lost sight of these two necessities for self-governance.
According to a recent Gallup poll, 68% of Americans say they identify with a Christian religion, whether in the Protestant or Catholic tradition, but 24 years ago, that number was 86%.
Today, children being told they may have been born in the wrong body, abortion still the leading cause of death among babies, and about 1 in every 4 U.S. children is growing up without a father in the home, according to the National Fatherhood Initiative.
Stonestreet joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss how Christians can rise to meet the current moment in history with hope and solutions to the troubles facing America. Stonestreet also discusses Christians’ role within politics.
