#358 Stumbling Toward Utopia: How the 1960s Turned Into a National Nightmare and How We Can Revive the American Dream with Tim Goeglein

I am praying that this year, 2025, is one of renewal for the American experiment. This year is a critical opportunity to push back on unbiblical ideas and government overreach, shore up constitutional protections for parents and ministries, and partner with government officials for the common good. If we are to fully seize this opportunity, though, it is important to understand how the United States arrived at this moral and cultural crisis and how to respond.

In this episode focused on his recent book, Stumbling toward Utopia, author Tim Goeglein looks at the philosophies and policies that led to the societal earthquake of the1960s and how those philosophies and policies have led to the cataclysm America faces today. He offers a blueprint for how we can reject those philosophies and policies by returning to the core values upon which America was built: personal responsibility, respect for life, sexual restraint, and patriotism.

Tim Goeglein is Vice President of External and Government Relations for Focus on the Family. Formerly, he served as a special assistant to President George W. Bush and as a deputy director of the White House Office of Public Liaison. He was the President’s principal outreach contact for conservative and faith-based groups. Tim’s extensive resumé includes serving as a senior fellow at The Heritage Foundation and as a communications director for U.S. Senator Dan Coats of Indiana and Gary Bauer at the Campaign for Working Families. Tim has authored a memoir, The Man in the Middle: Faith and Politics in the George W. Bush Era, and his latest book is titled American Restoration. He and his wife, Jenny, have two sons.
