178. Where Does The American Dream Fit Into Today’s Culture?

Send us Fan MailHave you ever pondered the fact that we are all born with an innate moral code? Even before we learn about the Bible and other religions, there is a moral standard woven within our inmost being. We're peeling back the layers of how this gift serves as our compass in a world spinning in chaos. Be prepared to deep dive into the concept of the American Dream and the shift it's taken over the years. Let's navigate the tumultuous terrains that the millennial generation and younger ones face in comparison to their predecessors. We're going to dissect the startling increase in home costs, the hike in household income, and the towering debt mountain that has grown in the last 20 years. In the end, it all boils down to discipline and the grit to push through adversity. We'll let you in on our personal journey of staying motivated and on track, revealing the morning practice of faithful Bible reading. We'll also borrow wisdom from Jocko Willink and Andy Frisella, who champion the idea of taking the next step and enduring the hard things to stay on course. As we grapple with the spiritual warfare hinted at in Ephesians 6, let's reflect on our current struggles and how to wage war against them by mastering the basics of life & tapping into our faith in God. Stay tuned for future discussions on manhood, hospitality, taking back our families, and intentional living. This is your call to action.
