#42 Ghana, Democracy & Pride

In this pod, Meeks reviews his first trip to the West coast of Africa, Ghana, specifically, and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of nations and people in light of pride. At the heart of failed democracies in nation-states that had a bright future, like Ghana -- which was the first independent country on the Continent, is pride. Meeks relates this motif of pride from a national as well as a personal perspective and traces the Biblical roots of its dark genesis, thereby attempting to answer the "big why" about how we as a people (individuals) and nation - in Ghana, the Americas, and beyond - can insulate ourselves from the eternal consequences of a prideful heart.Fair Use | All Rights Reserved | 2025
