The United States is in a cultural crisis. Our young are experiencing unprecedented levels of mental illness. Family structures are crumbling with out-of-wedlock births increasing while, at the same time, the number of children being born is decreasing. Some worry about masculinity under attack while others believe that “toxic masculinity” is the cause of most problems. Many are even worried that democracy itself is in real and present danger. It’s all a big mess.

How do we restore societal equilibrium? In a new compendium of his many columns on cultural issues, What Really Matters, Timothy S. Goeglein offers readers what he calls a “blueprint” to encourage us “to reevaluate the road we currently travel” and get back to the basics of “faith, freedom, and family,” fundamental institutions upon which this nation was built.

Goeglein has spent a career in public service and the private nonprofit sector. He is a prolific public speaker and public intellectual. He worked as a special assistant to President George W. Bush for eight years at the White House and currently serves as the vice president for external and government relations at Focus on the Family in Washington, D.C. He is the author or co-author of four previous books, including Toward a More Perfect Union: The Moral and Cultural Case for Teaching the Great American Story and Stumbling Toward Utopia.

This is his third appearance on this podcast.
