E359 - What Failed America? & Why The Answer Is: The Christian Home
from Sandy Creek Stirrings · host Joshua Gimenez
If the church did not fail America, then what did? In this episode, we move past easy accusations and familiar talking points and ask a harder, more uncomfortable question. History shows the church was active, vocal, and evangelistic during the very decades when America began to drift spiritually. So the explanation for where we are today must lie somewhere deeper—and closer to home. This conversation traces a series of quiet but powerful shifts that reshaped American family life over time. None of them happened overnight, and none of them were accidental. Together, they formed a pattern that slowly altered how faith was lived, prioritized, and passed on. Rather than pointing fingers at institutions or culture alone, this episode challenges listeners to examine where spiritual formation was meant to begin—and what happens when that foundation weakens.
