We are not the first generation that has wondered if the end times have arrived, that the world has been so corrupted that the only God’s intervention can make things right. Think of the 14th-century and the Black Plague, or the Thirty Years War a couple of hundred years later when the center of Europe was embroiled in war. Or a century and a half later when Napoleon marched back and forth across Europe and sounded the death knell to the Holy Roman Empire, followed by French revolution and more blood letting. That’s what Charles Dickens wrote about in his classic story of The Tale of Two Cities with these immortal words:
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”
The difference today, is there is no place to hide. No Great Basin to settle, no place to where we can push a handcart. But, our prophets and apostles have told to make our own homes a refuge, to teach our families the truths of the Gospel, to resist the slings and arrows from the Great and Spacious Building.
This Latter Day Radio Podcast focuses on the “secularization of America” as evidenced by institutions from the media to prestigious universities’ and school districts’ adoption of such ideologies as “Wokeism” and Critical Race Theory. Host GM Jarrard is joined by two guests, Homeschooler Amber Peterson, mother of four who has homeschooled her children for seven years and former CBS executive in New York City, co-founder of the A&E Network and former mission to Ireland.
