In this First Pod of the New Year, Bauer Walks Listeners Through the Opportunities and Threats Facing America and the World in 2024

In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom with Gary Bauer, senior vice president of public policy at the James Dobson Family Institute, Bauer discusses the specific threats brought about by war and rumors of war, and the vast political and cultural divide. He stresses that, along with these grave concerns, as Christians we have hope. The New Year brings with it exciting opportunities to change the trajectory of America through our constitutional election process. But we cannot stand idly by thinking our neighbors will do the heaving lifting for us. God forbid! Christians must engage. Bauer says he was encouraged by a late 2023 poll that showed a strong majority of Americans plan to take their faith more seriously in 2024. If we all hold to this resolution, America’s outlook for this year will be bright.
