What's Important Now

They didn't just write a Constitution. They built a moral architecture — and we've been dismantling it for 60 years.In Part 2 of "250 Years: Did We Keep the Republic?" Tom Sears walks through the three pillars the Founders built this nation on: the sanctity of the individual conscience, the necessity of virtue in the governed, and the covenant nature of the American experiment.These weren't political theories; they were biblical convictions. And Washington, Adams, Madison, and Lincoln all said the same thing in different ways: without God, the republic cannot stand.Then Tom asks the harder question. What happened to those pillars? From the prosperity of the Industrial Revolution to the theological liberalism that gutted the mainline churches, to the Supreme Court decisions of 1962 and 1963 that removed prayer and Bible reading from public schools, the unraveling didn't happen overnight. It happened the way it always does. Slowly. Quietly. One compromise at a time.This episode also puts a human face on the cost of the founding, men like Thomas Nelson Jr., who ordered his own cannons fired on his own home rather than let it shelter the enemy, and Carter Braxton, who died in poverty having given everything to the cause. They signed that document knowing the price. The question Tom leaves you with: what are we willing to pay? | Part 2 of 4 |Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-s-important-now--2969759/support.Visit: LegacyLivingMedia.comSubscribe: Available on all major podcast platformsSupport the Program: Give securely at LegacyLivingMedia.comFollow the Mission: Truth.

*"In this extended edition of What’s Important Now, Tom Sears goes beyond the broadcast to take a deeper look at one of the greatest threats facing America: the collapse of the family.On radio, you heard the warning signs. But here, Tom digs further—examining history’s lessons from Rome, Israel, the Industrial Revolution, and even the family collapse of the 1960s in America. He unpacks modern data that links fatherlessness to crime, poverty, and cultural decay, and shows how every empire that weakened its families eventually lost its strength. This is more than a conversation about culture—it’s about the spiritual battle for the home, and why restoring families is America’s only path to renewal.If you want the full picture of why families matter, what history teaches us, and where hope can be found, this extended podcast is for you."*Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-s-important-now--2969759/support.Visit: LegacyLivingMedia.comSubscribe: Available on all major podcast platformsSupport the Program: Give securely at LegacyLivingMedia.comFollow the Mission: Truth.
