God’s Providence: The Voyage of the Mayflower – Part 1
On November 11, 1620, the Pilgrims, after fleeing religious persecution by sailing to America aboard the Mayflower and settling in Plymouth Colony, drafted an agreement of self-government under God called The Mayflower Compact. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Jerry Newcombe, executive director of the Providence Forum, says that agreement was the first step toward the creation of the Declaration of Independence 156 years later. He also notes that gratitude to God has been America’s key to success. From the first Thanksgiving 401 years ago to Lincoln’s annual remembrance during the dark days of the Civil War, Americans continue to “give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.”

Christian Baker “Takes the Cake”
Who says there are no miracles? Not us! A court in California ruled on Friday that a Christian baker, Cathy Miller, should not be forced to bake a custom cake for a lesbian wedding. She refused because of her Christian belief that marriage is between one man and one woman. The Thomas More Society who represented Miller called the decision "a First Amendment victory," which clearly it is.

Censoring Christians
Your freedom is in danger. There is a clear pattern of social media and other tech companies censoring Christians, pro-life groups, and conservatives. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted as much in a Senate hearing earlier this year. He acknowledged that Silicon Valley "is an extremely left-leaning place," and that he worries about bias even in his own company.

Dr. Dobson and Metaxas remind us of the importance of American liberty, and what we can do as a nation to save it.

The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty – Part 1
As Americans, we are blessed to enjoy the fruits of our freedom, born out of the hardship of generations past. But we need to be aware of something very important: liberty is fragile. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Eric Metaxas discuss Eric’s book, If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty. Metaxas points to author and social critic Os Guinness’ notion of the “golden triangle of freedom,” which states that freedom requires virtue, virtue requires faith, and faith requires freedom. Sadly, we have forgotten America’s precious history, and are thus in danger of losing our republic.
