Hey there, folks.

If you know me or you listen to this program, you know that one of the most important things to me in my life is this issue of how faith intersects

with American freedom. I have confessed many times my ignorance on that subject up until I read Oz Guinness's book,

which came out, I guess it was in 2014 or 2015, called a Free People's Suicide.

When I read that book, some pennies dropped.

My mind was blown, and it led me to write my book, if you can keep it, the forgotten promise of American liberty.

And I have had just a burning passion ever since I wrote that book

to communicate to my fellow Americans and to the whole world, frankly,

the concept of how faith in the God of the Bible

is inextricably intertwined with liberty, liberty on the American model. We have been really,

we've allowed these ideas, which are central, as central as it gets, we've allowed them to evaporate

during my lifetime so that especially young people aren't really aware of how what we have,

which is so vital, how liberty is beautiful, and how most people aren't even aware quite what

it is and how hard one it is

and where it comes from. And there is nothing more important, frankly, to the restoration of

liberty in the world, starting with this country, then understanding this idea. And one of the folks who understands this idea extraordinarily

well and who's living his life to promote it is Rick Green. He is the founder of Patriot Academy.

He's been on this program before. Rick Green, welcome. Hey, Eric, good to be back, man. Thanks for

having me. There is literally nothing more important than this. So I want to know what is your journey
