Summary
Happy Independence Day! Today I’m joined by my good friend, Rick Green. He is going to remind us that liberty requires virtue, that rights come with responsibilities, and that freedom dies when faith fades. It’s our prayer that today, we don’t just celebrate America’s birth, but contend for her future. Talk to your kids about freedom. Pray for our leaders. Get involved. And don’t forget: the light of liberty shines brightest when it’s lit by the torch of truth. Happy July 4th!Rick Green | patriotacademy.com
