Jesus at the Center: How We Lost America and How to Win It Back

Time—our most precious and finite resource. Once spent, it vanishes forever. What if you knew exactly how many minutes you had left with your spouse, children, or parents? How would that transform your daily choices?

Jesse Cope challenges us to examine the stewardship of what we already have before asking God for more. Like Mayor Giuliani's focus on "broken windows" that reduced major crime in New York, our attention to seemingly small matters often determines our success with weightier responsibilities. We readily demand promotions at work without excelling in our current positions. We dream of perfect family vacations while neglecting daily moments of connection with our children.

The podcast draws a troubling parallel to our national condition. Recent reports revealed 3.2 million Social Security numbers belonging to people supposedly over 120 years old—a stunning example of government waste that few politicians have seriously addressed. More concerning than the waste itself is the pushback against those attempting to correct such problems, revealing deeper values that prioritize power over service.

Drawing from Reagan's prophetic "City Upon a Hill" speech, Jesse examines America's unique position in history and the responsibility that accompanies it. For nearly a century, progressive forces have systematically removed God from American classrooms and culture, understanding that controlling education means controlling the nation's future. The podcast makes a compelling case that no political leader, policy change, or government reform can permanently restore America without returning to the Christian principles that formed its foundation.

"We cannot escape our destiny," Reagan said, "Into the hands of America, God has placed the destinies of an afflicted mankind." That destiny requires more than voting or policy changes—it demands a spiritual awakening that begins in our homes and hearts before it can transform our nation.

What's the solution for America's challenges? Not merely electing the right politicians or implementing the right policies, but returning to God and Jesus Christ as the center of our personal lives, families, institutions, and nation. Make time today for what truly matters, before time runs out.
