#424 What Really Matters: Restoring a Legacy of Faith, Family, and Freedom with Tim Goeglein

In this episode, I welcomed Tim Goeglein—Vice President of External Relations at Focus on the Family and former special assistant to President George W. Bush—back on the podcast to discuss his timely new book, What Really Matters: Restoring a Legacy of Faith, Family, and Freedom. Drawing from decades of experience in Washington, D.C., Goeglein offers a compelling vision for recovering the foundational pillars that have shaped the American experiment. He explores why faith, family, and freedom are not just political talking points, but deeply Biblical principles that must be intentionally cultivated and passed on to future generations. This conversation also dives into practical ways Christians can live faithfully in a rapidly shifting culture—strengthening their homes, engaging thoughtfully in public life, and reclaiming a long-term vision for cultural renewal. Goeglein also reflects on lessons learned from his time in Washington and how believers can pursue influence without compromise. If you’re burdened by the direction of the country but hopeful about the church’s role in shaping what comes next, this episode will challenge and encourage you to focus on what truly matters.
