About this episode

Daniel Darling discusses the influence of Judeo-Christian values on American public life and the challenges posed by secularism.

IIn this episode of *Common Sense*, Dr. Ben Carson sits down with pastor and author Daniel Darling to discuss why America’s Judeo-Christian values still matter – and why faith should not be pushed out of public life. Together, they examine America’s founding principles, the rise of aggressive secularism, and what happens when a culture separates freedom from moral truth. They also discuss Christian patriotism, public theology, the lessons of American history, and why pastors, families, and citizens have a role to play in defending the values that shaped this nation. As America approaches its 250th year, this conversation is a reminder that faith is not a side issue in the American story. It is part of the foundation. If this conversation encouraged you, share it with someone who cares about faith, freedom, and America’s future – and subscribe to *Common Sense with Dr. Ben Carson* for more conversations about truth, culture, and the principles that still matter.
