At a Crossroads: America's 250th (Ep. 237)

As America nears its 250th birthday – the country is at a crossroads. The founders had a vision for this country, but is that vision still alive? Still relevant? Host Casey Harper is joined by professor and author, Matthew Spalding, to reflect on America’s past and future. The American founders put their lives on the line to protect truth and freedom. Today’s America looks very different than 1776, and many are wondering if the country will ever fully turn back to the founding ideals? Are the Constitution and Declaration of Independence still relevant? The two dive deep into those questions as well as details of the founding documents and the impact of the relationship between revelation and reason.ResourcesThe Making of the American Mind :The Story of Our Declaration of Independence by Matthew Spalding
