Patriot Lessons: American History and Civics

Learn why understanding the Declaration of Independence is important especially in these tumultuous times when patriotism is at an all time low. Discover why the Second Continental Congress decided to have a Declaration of Independence and how a committee of five of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston were chosen to draft it. Explore why John Adams insisted that Thomas Jefferson draft it, and how the Committee and the Second Continental Congress changed Jefferson's draft. Hear the entire Declaration of Independence, the most profound words written in the English language that were approved by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.Most Americans have never read the entire Declaration of Independence and have a elementary grade level understanding of it. Most remember the soaring words of the second paragraph (“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among the are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”), and maybe the last clause (“we mutually pledge our to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor”), and have not reviewed in any detail the remainder of the 1320 words. The rest is not just taxation without representation. There were 27 grievances listed by the Founding Fathers, of which taxation without representation is but one. In addition to the amazing, stirring words we are familiar with, and with the exceptions of John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, nearly no one knows the entire roster of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The full roster of the signers is John Adams, Samuel Adams, Josiah Bartlett, Carter Braxton, Charles Carroll of Carrolton, Samuel Chase, Abraham Clark, George Clymer, William Ellery, William Floyd, Benjamin Franklin, Elbridge Gerry, Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall, John Hancock, Benjamin Harrison, John Hart, Joseph Hewes, Thomas Hayward, Jr., William Hooper, Stephen Hopkins, Francis Hopkinson, Samuel Huntington, Thomas Jefferson, Francis Lightfoot Lee, Richard Henry Lee, Francis Laws, Philip Livingston, Thomas Lynch, Jr., Thomas McKean, Arthur Middleton, Lewis Morris, Robert Morris, John Morton, Thomas Nelson, Jr. , William Paca, Robert Treat Paine, John Penn, George Read, Caesar Rodney, George Ross, Dr. Benjamin Rush, Edward Rutledge, Roger Sherman, James Smith, Richard Stockton, Thomas Stone, George Taylor, Matthew Thorton, George Walton, William Whipple, William Williams, James Wilson, John Witherspoon, Oliver Wolcott, and George Wythe.Listen at your leisure to the amazing Declaration of Independence.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay decide to get high on their days off as they talk about the comedy classic, 'Friday.' Andy starts off the hot summer day by recalling the time he used to cop off an ice cream man, and much like Smokey and Big Worm, he got behind in payments. Then the guys dive in on one of the great hang flicks that perfectly captures the eclectic mix of characters you grow up with in your neighborhood. They reminisce about parents that would lock their kids out, households that would have one of something but never the other, and getting high with your friends while you're unemployed. Of course, the movie is helped by an insane comedy cast that included John Witherspoon that advised "nobody go in that bathroom for about 35, 45 minutes," and an undeniable star-making turn from Chris Tucker. Add in a heaping of hilarious eclectic characters, prime Nia Long, and more quotable lines than the '90s could contain, and you have an endurable film that ages finer than Mrs. Parker in jean shorts. This episode is guaranteed to leave you laughing ... and you know this, mannnn.

Jesse Cope delivers a powerful, historically-grounded exploration of America's Christian foundations and the critical need to return to them. The episode begins with a candid look at personal priorities—challenging listeners to honestly assess where God ranks in their daily lives, followed by the importance of prioritizing one's spouse above all other commitments except faith.Drawing from presidential addresses during America's darkest hours—including FDR during the Great Depression and Lincoln before the Civil War—Cope demonstrates how our leaders historically turned to God when facing national crises. This stands in stark contrast to the last 80 years, which Cope pinpoints to a pivotal 1947 Supreme Court decision that began severing America's governmental connection to its Christian roots.The heart of the episode showcases powerful quotes from founding figures like Robert Charles Winthrop, who warned that nations must choose between being governed "either by the Bible or by the bayonet," and John Witherspoon, who declared that enemies of God are enemies of America. Cope makes a compelling case that the founders never intended to separate Christian principles from governance—only to prevent the establishment of a single denomination as the state religion.Perhaps most fascinating is the exploration of America's educational history, revealing that 106 of the nation's first 108 schools were founded on Christian principles, including Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. Cope argues that today's cultural decline directly correlates with abandoning these biblical foundations, not just in education but across society.This thought-provoking episode serves as both warning and inspiration—reminding us that without the internal moral restraint that comes from faith, liberty cannot survive. If you've been wondering about America's true foundations or seeking to understand the connection between faith and freedom, this episode provides historical context that's rarely taught today.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Recently, I had the honor of being the moderator for the 8x Grammy-nominated musical genius Tori Amos to promote her gorgeous new children's book Tori and the Muses. I have to say this was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I was super nervous before the show, but the moment Tori and I walked on stage together, I felt completely at home and we had a fun, heartfelt and inspiring conversation. I am grateful for how open she was and how comfortable she made me feel onstage and off.  To all of her fans - she is exactly as kind and magical as you could imagine her to be. A special thank you to Anderson's Bookshop, my husband Patrick, my friend Matt, John Witherspoon and of course the sensational Tori Amos. I will treasure this night forever. Oh, and if you have a young reader in your life, get them a copy of Tori and the Muses! To see the video version of this interview or any of our other interviews, head over to aspoonfulofpaolo.com or our YouTube channel.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered if America's founding fathers intended to separate their deep faith from the formation of our government? Tune in to this episode of the American Soul Podcast as we uncover the undeniable connection between Christianity and the founding principles of our nation. We'll start with a heartfelt prayer, reflecting on the role of God in our daily lives, and challenge ourselves to evaluate whether our actions truly align with our Christian beliefs. Drawing on powerful analogies and rich historical references, we question if our lives provide enough evidence of our devotion to God, much like how our everyday choices in driving and marriage reflect our priorities.Join us as we delve into the faith-driven decisions of America's founders, highlighting figures like John Hancock and John Witherspoon. We'll discuss the infusion of Christian principles into the creation of our government and the critical role of seeking divine guidance. As we navigate today's cultural and political shifts toward socialism and communism, we'll address the potential consequences of straying from our founding values. With a powerful quote from Witherspoon, we emphasize the intertwined nature of true religion and civil liberty in producing uncorrupted patriots and useful citizens. We'll wrap up with blessings for our listeners and a patriotic prayer for America, inspiring everyone to integrate their faith into every aspect of life.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe
