Summary

This is our unabridged interview with Jeffrey Rosen. “In many ways, we're living in the founders’ nightmare,” says Jeffrey Rosen, president of the National Constitution Center. “All of the founders thought that we could not govern ourselves as a democracy unless we first achieved self-government as individuals.” For Independence Day, Rosen shares how the "pursuit of happiness" mentioned in the Declaration of Independence is defined differently than our contemporary notion of the word. It includes a life in pursuit of self-mastery as what would ensure our individual and collective flourishing. Jeffrey also discusses the goods of stoic philosophy and touts the practice of deep reading as a potential antidote to civic issues the U.S. is facing currently.

Hi, friends, Annie F Downs here. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or unsure where to

0:05.7

begin when it comes to reading scripture, I want to invite you to read the Gospels with me every

0:10.3

month. That's Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Every day on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast

0:15.8

is an invitation to slow down and spend intentional time with Jesus through Scripture.

0:21.3

I started reading through the Gospels in a month because I kept trying to read the whole Bible

0:25.3

in a year and would find myself getting behind and getting frustrated.

0:28.8

So I asked myself, what if I just started with the Gospels?

0:32.2

And it turns out I kept wanting to read them over and over, and it has changed my life.

0:37.6

If you do three chapters a day for 30 days, you get all four books read in a month, and we've

0:42.4

been doing that on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast for years now.

0:46.7

Every day on the Let's Read the Gospels podcast, we read three chapters, and then I end

0:51.5

with a prayer.

0:52.3

That's it.

0:52.8

It's simple, and each episode is around 15 minutes

0:55.5

of your day. Every month, we read a different version of the four Gospels and in different

1:00.4

order, so you can scroll back and pick your favorite, or you can just hit play on today's

1:04.8

episode and listen along with the version we've chosen for that month. I say it often because

1:10.2

I believe it. You don't have to

1:11.7

be in the Gospels every day to be changed, but every day you're in the Gospels will change you.

1:17.2

Subscribe today to the Let's Read the Gospels podcast and let's spend a month together reading about

1:21.8

Jesus's life and ministry on earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals,

1:29.3

and the miracles. I promise you, it will change you. The Let's Read the Gospels podcast is available for you today.
