Is America’s crisis political – or spiritual?

In this episode of Common Sense with Dr. Ben Carson, Dr. Carson sits down with Dr. Phil McGraw for a powerful conversation about faith, family, religious liberty, mental health, patriotism, and the future of America.

Dr. Phil explains why he believes Americans are searching for meaning, why young people are struggling with loneliness and anxiety, and why the family unit remains one of the most important foundations of a healthy society.

They also discuss the Founding Fathers, America’s 250th anniversary, religious freedom, technology addiction, and what everyday Americans can do to stand for faith, liberty, community, and life.
