As a country governed by the same Constitution for more than 200 years, one would expect its citizens to understand better the document that is the foundation of their government. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Americans' lack of knowledge about the Constitution is exacerbated by the fact that most cannot name more than two of the five rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. Despite its importance, there is a disconnect between the American people and the Constitution.
In today's episode of the Pod Bless America Podcast, Jim and Dan get back to basics. They will talk about Jim's passion, The Constitution of the United States of America. Joining them is an author and speaker, Paul Engel. As an advocate of the Constitution, Paul speaks about what motivated him to launch The Constitution Study, how politicians swear to uphold the Constitution but fail to do so, and what the problems with elections are.
Paul Engel has spent more than 20 years studying and teaching about both the Bible and the U.S. Constitution. Frustrated by Americans' general lack of knowledge about their Constitution, Paul founded The Constitution Study. His experience with the study has led him to write a book of the same name and develop classes available both online and in-person to encourage others to read, study, and understand the Constitution for themselves.
Enjoy!

Join Jim and Dan as they talk to Kevin McGary, the Chairman of the California Chapter of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, and learn what the schools didn't teach you about Mr. Douglass.
It's been a while, but it's time for another story from Jim's dad. We found a lost episode and it helps us out since life is crazy. While you may pull into the wrong address from time to time, imagine landing on the wrong aircraft carrier. Google images of what happened to these poor guys. Let's just say, they may be on the same team but that doesn't mean you can just walk into their house.
It's that time again. Line up one and all for the newest most super duperest COVID vaccines (you love your fellow citizens and grandparents don't you?). Will you comply with new mandates? Jim thinks you will. Also, the Supreme Court is about to get back at it. Join us while we talk about it.
