Most countries have a national language, culture and ethnicity. This is not so for Americans. We represent a melting pot drawn from all nations, ethnicities, languages, and religions. So what does it mean to be an American?
Today our guest, Gove Allen will address this question, by walking us through the seven founding values which make us Americans. He will help us understand our roots and how these foundational virtues became the bedrock of America.
These values are what give us our identity as Americans and make us great. Without them we are no different than any other country.
Five of the founding values have lost their original meaning in the hearts of many Americans.
D. Todd Christofferson warned,
“A thriving society can fail in time if, it abandons the cardinal virtues that uphold its peace and prosperity.”
We need this podcast to be shared with every American in the hope it will inspire each of us to reaffirm and embrace these seven virtues in our lives. We are a nation at risk. God bless America!
