In this powerful and timely episode of CURE America, Pastor Donald T. Eason sits down with Timothy Goeglein, Vice President of External and Government Relations at Focus on the Family and former Special Assistant to President George W. Bush. They explore the essential principles that built our nation — faith, family, and freedom — and why reclaiming them is more critical today than ever before. America stands at a crossroads. Marriage rates have plummeted to historic lows, fertility is in freefall, and fatherlessness continues to devastate communities, especially in urban areas. A generation of young men is struggling without strong moral guidance, purpose, or direction. The proven "success sequence" — finish school, secure a full-time job, marry before children, then build a family — is being ignored, with painful consequences for economic mobility, community stability, and the future of our children. As we approach our nation's 250th anniversary, the fallout from sidelining biblical truth, weakening family structures, and distorting our history is impossible to ignore. Young people face rising anxiety and isolation, while cultural pressures favor self-centered individualism over commitment, responsibility, and sacrifice. Yet amid these challenges, there are signs of hope: more young men are returning to church, rediscovering the value of marriage and fatherhood, and seeking deeper meaning beyond secular trends. Pastor Eason and Tim Goeglein unpack practical, faith-rooted solutions that churches, families, neighborhoods, and individuals can implement right now: building strong, lifelong marriages; raising children grounded in biblical truth and American history; and restoring our communities from the ground up through personal responsibility and renewed faith. At CURE, we know the true path to healing poverty, division, and brokenness in urban America lies not in bigger government, but in strengthening the foundational pillars of faith, family, and freedom. This conversation delivers both a sobering wake-up call and real, actionable hope for anyone passionate about the future of our families and our nation. A must-watch for pastors, parents, community leaders, and every citizen concerned about where America is headed. Tune in to CURE America with Donald T. Eason and be part of the restoration our country desperately needs.

The lowest marriage rates, the lowest fertility rates, and more babies born to women in their 30s than their 20s — something is going on in America, and Timothy Goeglein thinks he knows what it is. A former eight-year special assistant to President George W. Bush and vice president of government and external relations at Focus on the Family, Goeglein joins Brian From to talk about his new book What Really Matters: Restoring a Legacy of Faith, Freedom, and Family. He makes the case that digital dislocation has built a brick wall between young men and women, that millions of men are checked out of school, work, and relationships entirely — and yet in that same demographic, something surprising is happening. Young men between 18 and 30 are returning to faith, going back to church, and saying they want marriage and fatherhood. By a factor of over 55%, more young men are now in church on Sundays than women. Goeglein calls it a quiet American revival, and he's optimistic — because despair, he says, is a sin that negates the hope of Jesus Christ.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Strong families don't just benefit children. They stabilize communities, shape responsible men, and preserve the conditions where liberty can survive.You'll hear why restoring fatherhood is central to rebuilding culture, how faith once anchored public life in ways we've largely forgotten, and what it takes to recover a legacy worth handing down.If you're looking for clarity in a noisy moment and a vision that looks beyond headlines to long-term cultural health, this conversation delivers.Get your copy here: https://amzn.to/4moiGsa---------------------------------------------------------Bio: Tim Goeglein is Vice President of External and Government Relations for Focus on the Family.

Join Matt and Jamison as they welcome back Tim Goeglein, Vice President for External Relations at Focus on the Family, for an insightful discussion on his forthcoming book, What Really Matters: Restoring a Legacy of Faith, Freedom, and Family. In this episode, Goeglein explores the urgent need to "restate the obvious" by returning to first principles—faith, family, and marriage—to counter aggressive secularism.A significant portion of the conversation focuses on "restoring the American male," addressing the crisis of fatherlessness and the cultural shift toward a more "feminized" society. Goeglein presents sobering data on male loneliness and employment trends, arguing that strong marriages remain the highest predictor of life satisfaction in America. The discussion also highlights the importance of historical literacy and character-based education in sustaining a constitutional republic. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes that true restoration will not come from government or politics, but from a bottom-up reclaiming of the foundational values that define the American experience. This summary provides a roadmap for listeners dedicated to preserving a legacy of virtue for the next generation.Tim's book can be purchased here or at your favorite bookstore.

If you had to name a time in America where the morality of the nation took a nose dive, it'd be the 1960s that comes to mind. And that's quite fact-based, said Tim Goeglein, with Focus on the Family, whose latest book, "Stumbling Toward Utopia," traces a massive cultural shift to that decade, and then also to the Barack Obama years. If we want an America that's free, then we need Americans to be moral. It's only a moral people who are capable of self-governance, after all.

On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Tim Goeglein, vice president of External and Government Relations for Focus on the Family, joins The Federalist's Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss how the United States of America has devolved into the Divided States of America. Goeglein breaks down how radicalism in "overdrive" in the 1960's spurred a cultural revolution that would have lasting impacts on the nation. While key figures like Margaret Sanger, Roger Baldwin, and countless others died before they could see the effects of their radical left-wing ideology on the country, their efforts to upend the American way of life have proved fruitful — but not all hope is lost, Goeglein explains.You can find Goeglein's book, Stumbling Toward Utopia: How the 1960s Turned Into a National Nightmare and How We Can Revive the American Dream, here. If you care about combatting the corrupt media that continue to inflict devastating damage, please give a gift to help The Federalist do the real journalism America needs.
