Episode Summary
In Part 3 of the series Is America Dying?, Tom Sears examines the decline of civic virtue—the spirit of responsibility, honesty, sacrifice, and service that once held America together. From the self-sacrifice of the WWII home front to the disillusionment of the 1970s, Tom traces the timeline of how America went from “What can I give?” to “What can I get?” He unpacks Rome’s downfall through “bread and circuses” and shows the alarming parallels to our own age of distraction, entitlement, and debt. What You’ll Hear in This Episode
  • How civic virtue shaped early America and why it mattered.
  • Why trust, patriotism, and civic knowledge are at record lows.
  • How entitlement culture links directly to our national debt crisis.
  • Why endless entertainment is America’s modern “circus.”
  • Practical steps for families, churches, and communities to rebuild civic virtue.
