There’s no question that this upcoming election has created a lot of fear, chaos, and division across the country. Therefore, in today’s episode we want to remind you that November 5th is not about personalities, but rather about policies that matter - policies that impact our everyday lives and issues of concern to all Americans including the economy, our border situation and the real threat of terrorism both here and abroad, a strong national defense, and of course issues important to people with sincerely held religious beliefs such as religious liberty, life, Israel, and more. We are in a significant moment in time and we believe God calls us to STAND for biblical truth and to be salt and light for today’s generations! That being said, today’s special guest is someone who has a word of hope and courage in the climate we find ourselves in. Joining us today is one of the great Christian leaders of our day and age, Dr. Ben Carson. Dr. Carson served as the 17th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under former President, Donald J. Trump. He completed his B.A. in psychology from Yale University, an M.D. from the University of Michigan Medical School, and his residency in neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Carson became the Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1984 at the age of 33. He has written and published numerous best-selling books, 4 of which were co-authored with Candy, his wife of 46 years. Dr. Carson and his wife are co-founders of the Carson Scholars Fund, and together they have 3 sons and several rambunctious grandchildren. Today’s conversation is going to be centered around the pillars of American democracy and the importance of both the government and the American family by unpacking Dr. Carson’s newest book titled, The Perilous Fight: Overcoming Our Culture's War on the American Family.   American Cornerstone Institute: https://americancornerstone.org/  Carson Scholars Fund: https://carsonscholars.org/about-csf/dr-carson/ Purchase Your Copy of The Perilous Fight: Overcoming Our Culture's War on the American Family: https://www.amazon.com/Perilous-Fight-Overcoming-Cultures-American/dp/0310368375  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
