Hello, everyone. You're listening to Family Talk, a radio broadcasting ministry of the James Dobson Family Institute.

I'm Dr. James Dobson, and thank you for joining us for this program.

Well, welcome to Dr. James Dobson's family talk.

I'm Roger Marsh.

Have you ever taken a look at a U.S. dollar bill, turned it over, and wondered about those mysterious symbols on the back?

That pyramid, the eye, the Latin phrases.

You know, most of us have seen them so many times in our lifetimes, but very few of us know what they actually mean,

while that emblem is the great seal of the United States. And on today's edition of Dr. James

Dobson's family talk, you're going to discover the surprising message woven into its design

by our nation's founders. Our guest is author and historian Michael Canis. After an unexpected

encounter with that seal during a family trip to Valley Forge,

Michael spent the next few years digging through the National Archives and the Library of Congress

to uncover its origins, and what he found may forever change the way you look at that dollar

in your pocket.

So now let's get into this powerful conversation

featuring our own Dr. James Dobson to introduce today's Family Talk broadcast.

Today we're going to talk about something that, frankly, I've never discussed on the air.

It has to do with the seal of the United States, which apparently

very few of you have taken the time to study, and I didn't know anything about it either

of consequence. But my guest today was equally oblivious until something changed for him.

And he began to study the seal.

This is on the currency, especially on the dollar.
