Episode 5 of America At 250:

Section 13: America Became What the Founders Feared
A Growing Claim

America did not become Britain. In some ways, it became something worse: a centralized bureaucratic, ideological, therapeutic state.

TRUE OR FALSE - Modern America has:

The federal government has grown so large that thousands of unelected officials now make decisions that affect our everyday lives.

Government agencies often create rules that carry the force of law, even though Congress never voted on them.

Many schools are spending more time teaching cultural and political ideas than teaching students how to think critically and pursue truth.

Courts are increasingly making decisions that redefine long-held beliefs about marriage, family, life, and even what it means to be male and female.

People are feeling more pressure to use certain words or affirm certain beliefs—even if they disagree—or risk being labeled, punished, or losing opportunities.

More people believe the government should solve social problems by taking more from some people to give to others, rather than emphasizing personal responsibility, charity, and local communities.

We have begun dividing people more by race, gender, sexuality, and other identity groups than by our shared humanity and common citizenship.

Strong marriages are declining, fewer children are growing up in stable two-parent homes, and the family—the foundation of society—is under increasing strain.

Fewer Americans know what the Bible actually teaches, making it easier for culture to shape beliefs than Scripture.

Even with more technology, entertainment, and convenience than ever before, people are reporting higher levels of loneliness, anxiety, depression, and a lack of purpose.

Section 14: The Church’s Failure

TRUE OR FALSE: Do not only blame politicians. The church helped create this vacuum.

The church outsourced discipleship.
Parents outsourced biblical formation.
Pastors avoided controversial truths.

Churches entertained people instead of equipping them.
Christians learned worship choruses but not worldview.

We preached heaven but not creation.

We preached forgiveness but not repentance.

We preached kindness but not courage.

We preached personal faith but not public truth.

When the church stopped forming disciples, the culture formed activists.

Section 15: Hope — It Is Not Too Late

A Truth Claim We Place Our Hope In
America is not beyond hope because God is not dead, the gospel is still true, and the church still has a mission.
