In a special holiday edition of 10 Blocks, Timothy Goeglein joins City Journal assistant editor Charles McElwee to discuss how people of faith can help renew American society—themes explored in his new book, American Restoration: How Faith, Family, and Personal Sacrifice Can Heal Our Nation. Coauthored with Craig Osten, American Restoration calls for a revival of spiritual values in America and offers a roadmap for people of faith to engage with our modern culture—especially at the local level. Timothy Goeglein is Vice President of External Relations for Focus on the Family. Formerly, he served as a special assistant to President George W. Bush and as a deputy director of the White House Office of Public Liaison.

Tim Goeglein is the guest on today's BreakPoint podcast. Tim Goeglein is Vice- President for External and Government Relations at Focus on the Family. But this job, which he's had for a decade, is just his latest in what has been 30-year career in Washington, including eight years working in the West Wing for President George W. Bush. Tim Goeglein says his time in Washington hasn't made him cynical. In fact, as you'll hear, it's made him hopeful. But it's a hope underpinned by the hope of the Gospel, and a belief that Christians can and will engage the current culture and not flee from it. These are ideas he explains in his new book “American Restoration:  How Faith, Family, and Personal Sacrifice Can Heal Our Nation.” It's a book he co-wrote with Craig Osten. The Colson Center's Warren Cole Smith had this conversation with Tim Goeglein at Tim's office on Capitol Hill, within site of the Supreme Court Building and the United States Capitol.

Tim Goeglein and Craig Osten’s book, “American Restoration: How Faith, Family, and Personal Sacrifice Can Heal our Nation”, addresses solutions to cultural problems that our society is facing in religious liberty today. Learn more at FirstLiberty.org/Briefing. Tim Goeglein and Craig Osten just released their new book, “American Restoration.”  It’s a critical examination of our time and place, recognizing the cultural battles our society faces and proposing common sense solutions to the problems Tim and Craig identify.  I’m particularly taken by their evaluation of the state of religious liberty in our country today.  There’s a recognition throughout the chapter that there is a clash between world views and religious liberty seems to be losing ground.  Their solution is simple, yet profound.  “If we are to restore religious liberty, we must engage,” they say.  “We must be involved.  This is a time for a historic flood tide of faithful men and women to get involved in the media, in culture, and in public policy debates at the local, state, regional, and national levels.”  That’s both vitally true and should be obvious to any reader paying close attention. But, here’s the payoff. After calling for involvement at every level, they conclude, “But in doing so, we cannot compromise the core beliefs of our faith if we are to successfully restore America’s spiritual formation and God-given freedoms.” Compromise erodes freedoms and that is not less true in the battle for religious freedom.  The loss of religious freedom is itself a loss of freedom.  And, at the same time, the more gains for the free exercise of religion we achieve, the more free our nation becomes.  The founders understood that.  My friends Tim Goeglein and Craig Osten do too.  Perhaps you ought to also read their new book, “American Restoration: How Faith, Family, and Personal Sacrifice Can Heal our Nation.” To learn how First Liberty is protecting religious liberty for all Americans, visit FirstLiberty.org.

America has hit the proverbial fork in the road. We can continue to go down the road of social strife and despair, or we can choose the road that leads us back to the founding principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, which our nation’s founding fathers spoke of so eloquently in the Declaration of Independence. In American Restoration, Tim Goeglein and Craig Osten examine every aspect of American culture and offer a map of the road to national and spiritual renewal. The objective is to provoke a national dialogue on each of these topics while winsomely convincing hearts and minds that the best days for America are still to come.Timothy S.

While there have been many biographies of Dwight D. Eisenhower that focus on his military career or the time of his presidency, none clearly explores the important role faith played both in his personal life and in his public policy. This despite the fact that he is the only US president to be baptized as a Christian while in office.Alan Sears and Craig Osten invite you on a journey that is unique in American history and is essential to understanding one of the most consequential, admired, and complex Americans of the 20th Century. The story begins in abject poverty in rural Texas, then travels through Kansas, West Point, two World Wars, and down Pennsylvania Avenue. This is the untold story of a man whose growing faith sustained him through the loss of a young son, marital difficulties, depression, career disappointments, and being witness to some of the worst atrocities humankind has devised. A man whose faith was based in his own sincere personal conviction, not out of a sense of political expediency or social obligation. You've met Dwight Eisenhower the soldier and Dwight Eisenhower the president. Now meet Dwight Eisenhower the man of faith. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
