Timothy S. Goeglein on the Dangers of Utopianism 1:01:39

10d ago1:01:39

1:01:39

American institutions are less trusted than ever before, our society is deeply divided, and much of the world is in turmoil. The problem isn’t religion, atheism, or ideology, per se. Rather, the real culprit — and one that receives far too little attention in public discourse — is the widespread embrace by social activists of utopianism, a zealous …

24d ago58:07

58:07

Whether to legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia is one of the most culturally contentious — and important — public policy debates of our time.

This recording from April 5, 2024. Abstract J. R. R.

7M ago1:02:26

1:02:26

We live in a time in which eliminating suffering is considered by many to be society’s ultimate purpose. Too often, this leads to policies that eliminate suffering by eliminating the sufferer.

8M ago1:13:51

1:13:51

Racism has been America’s lingering cancer. There is no question that great strides have been made in eradicating this evil from our culture since the bad old days of slavery and Jim Crow.

58:18

We are in the midst of a transgender moral panic.

11M ago1:08:35

1:08:35

When the Supreme Court ruled that abortion was a constitutional right in Roe v. Wade in 1973, it not only throttled an important ongoing democratic debate in the country about legalizing abortion, but it tore this country’s culture apart. In the next fifty years, dedicated pro-life activists committed themselves to democratic engagement and advocac…

Jonathan Choe on the Crisis of our City Streets 56:37

12M ago56:37

56:37

The homelessness and addiction catastrophes on our city streets seem intractable. Unhygienic squatter tent cities. Human waste on our sidewalks. Used needles littering our parks. Crime. Collapsing commercial districts. It’s enough to make one turn away in despair and allow areas of our once most beautiful cities to become no-go zones. But some refu…

1y ago1:06:59

1:06:59

A vibrant and engaged media is essential to protecting American liberty—which is why the First Amendment provides such a strong protection for freedom of the press. If the media are to carry out their societal responsibilities, journalists must have the trust of news consumers. But these days, trust is in low supply. An October 2022 Gallup Poll fou…

Sam Brownback on the Importance of Religious Freedom to World Peace and Prosperity 1:08:13

1y ago1:08:13

1:08:13

Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy once opined that freedom of religion has “a double aspect—freedom of thought and action.” In other words, to be truly religiously free, one must not only be at liberty to believe, but act consistently with those beliefs. This concept of religious freedom—the right to live and act according to one’s faith—has histo…
