ALLIE BETH STUCKEY: The American Empire Has Fallen

Today we're giving what amounts to a Christian, conservative State of the Union (and world). And, spoiler alert, the state of America and the world is pretty bad. Between war raging in Europe and China looking to take America's spot as world superpower, it's a fair bet that tough times lie ahead. To anyone with an objective sense of reality, there is a direct link between the decline of the U.S. and the rise in chaos around the world and the proliferation of progressive policies that put ideology over prosperity. We discuss how progressive environmental and economic regulations create conditions like energy dependence and companies outsourcing manufacturing to our enemies, a situation that China and Russia are all too happy to exploit. However, it's not all bad news, as we discuss a few of the theological reasons Christians need not worry too much about worldly affairs, but a more in-depth theological and practical discussion about what's going on in the world is soon to follow as well.
