The corrosion we feel happens when we expect a political figure or a government to protect a dream that only God can sustain." As our nation navigates shifting definitions of the American Dream and cultural anxiety over systemic decay, where should believers anchor their hope? In the conclusion of this special two-part pre-July 4th series on Heartfelt Mornings, Pastor Tom Roepke joins Burch and Lisa to look past the contemporary political noise. Picking up right where last week's discussion on Abraham Lincoln left off, this episode tackles everything from the hilarious, real-time cultural shock of World Cup tourists to the profound, foundational truths written into the Declaration of Independence. The conversation challenges us to drop the usual political talking points and examine a vital question: Have we hitched our hope to an election cycle instead of the King of Kings? This archive features the full conversation, including a final pastoral prayer for our communities, our leaders, and our national character. During the broadcast, Tom also highlights a powerful sermon titled "Once in 250 Years – Celebrating the Declaration," delivered from the pulpit of Bethel Chapel by Dave Zanotti of the American Policy Roundtable. Listeners are highly encouraged to visit The Public Square media platform to hear Dave's full audio address, which serves as an excellent companion resource to help families re-center on first principles over the holiday weekend.

Dr. David Zanotti, CEO and Chairman of The American Policy Roundtable and host of The Public Square, joins Wayne Shepherd in conversation about America's 250th.   (click for more...)  The conversation centers on a recently published book, An Oration, which Zanotti co-authored with political philosopher Dr. W.B. Allen. The book revisits an 1837 Fourth of July speech by John Quincy Adams — delivered at age 70, for 90 minutes without a microphone — in which Adams argued that American civil government was founded on biblical principles rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Zanotti describes Adams as the most credible eyewitness to the founding era, having personally known the Founding Fathers, served in every branch of government, and later spent 17 years in Congress advocating for the abolition of slavery.The interview also touches on how the book addresses modern debates around Christian nationalism, theocracy, and separation of church and state — using Adams' own words as the authoritative response. As a practical application, Zanotti encourages listeners to read the Declaration of Independence and engage in civic life as an expression of Christian faith. He concludes by announcing a groundbreaking ceremony for "Declaration Hall" — an education and media center to be built on the campus of the American Mission Center in Ohio — scheduled for July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.                                                  NEXT WEEK:  Mark Jobe Send your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.
