The American Soul

Are you tired of hearing the myth about separation of church and state? Are you tired of being told that America is not and never was a Christian nation? Do you want to have the information to stand up for the truth and fight back against this fundamental lie that’s invading our culture and education? Each week, host Jesse Cope will dive into quotes and excerpts from our great leaders and documents throughout our history showing how in President Woodrow Wilson’s words “America was born a Christian

Biblical Roles, Cultural Clashes, And A Call To Courage

The American Soul ·

2026/01/15

A stranger’s comment at a dinner table sparked a bigger question: who taught us that covenant and kids are obstacles, not gifts? We walk through Titus 2 and Proverbs 31 to recover a vision of marriage and family that pushes against the “live your life first” script, without shaming those whose paths differ. Then we hold up the mirror for men—self-control and integrity should shape our conduct in public as much as in private. If our sons see adults raging from the bleachers, what do they learn...

Homes Without People Are Empty

The American Soul ·

2026/01/14

Homes without people are empty. We open with that hard truth and follow the thread through marriage, Scripture, history, and national character, asking what kind of legacy we’re really building. Jesse reflects on the blessings of children and the quiet cost of chasing comfort over covenant, showing how a culture that sidelines family winds up with full garages and hollow tables. From the romantic urgency of the Song of Solomon to the everyday grit of sustaining a household, we paint a practic...

The Backbone Of A Nation

The American Soul ·

2026/01/13

What if the strongest force in a nation isn’t fame or firepower, but ordinary people who show up every day? We open with gratitude and prayer, then follow a simple thread through work, worship, and home: consistency beats spectacle. From corporals and reservists to moms, dads, and steady employees, the quiet habit of daily duty holds far more weight than applause ever will. We read from Song of Solomon to remember the beauty of committed love, then turn to Romans 3 to confront a hard truth w...

What Happens When We Evict God From Public Life

The American Soul ·

2026/01/12

Power without principle always finds a way to dress itself up. Today we take a sober walk through history, Scripture, and conscience to ask whether a nation can thrive after pushing God to the margins. We contrast the empty promises of control-first ideologies with the hard, hopeful demands of a Christ-shaped public life: repentance, truth-telling, courage, and care for the weak. We start by challenging party loyalty that eclipses moral clarity. Measures over men becomes more than a slogan—D...

Justice And Mercy In A Dangerous World

The American Soul ·

2026/01/10

Hard choices reveal what we really believe about mercy and justice. We open with gratitude and prayer, then face a fraught question: when cartel boats are hit and survivors remain at large, does standing down serve compassion—or does it abandon the people those cartels exploit? I share why protecting the vulnerable means drawing firm lines against predatory actors, and why sentimental optics aren’t the same as moral courage. We ground the conversation in Scripture. Colossians 3 clarifies rol...

Why A Nation’s Soul Depends On What It Worships

The American Soul ·

2026/01/09

What we honor becomes what we obey. This episode weaves prayer, hard history, and blunt moral clarity to examine a proposed enclave near Dallas, the nature of hostile ideologies, and the cost of silence when power shifts. We ask a simple question with far-reaching stakes: what does our worship produce in public life? We ground the conversation in Scripture—Jesus’ praise for John the Baptist, the fickle demands of crowds, and the promise of rest for the weary. Wisdom is not a slogan; it’s fru...

If We Drop The Bible, Who Holds The Line

The American Soul ·

2026/01/08

A single standard sustains a marriage; a higher allegiance sustains a soul. We open with Genesis 2 to ground the claim that husband and wife are called to cleave as one flesh, not to trade benefits while dodging duties. From there, we challenge the cultural instinct to negotiate only a spouse’s responsibilities and lay out a simple test for integrity: if you expect daily respect, intimacy, and support, are you offering daily protection, provision, and love? Matthew 10 sharpens the point. Fol...

What Holds A Country Together When Words Fail

The American Soul ·

2026/01/07

Hard truths travel faster than we expect. We open with reports of Nigerian Christians targeted with brutal precision—villages emptied, pastors singled out—and ask what kind of worldview fuels such violence and what kind of courage withstands it. That question takes us into the heart of Christian discipleship: the mutual duty of husbands and wives in 1 Corinthians 7, the steel-spined call to public witness in Matthew 10, and the grounded hope of the Psalms and Proverbs that steadies us when so...

Who Guards Liberty When Conscience Falls Silent

The American Soul ·

2026/01/06

Start with prayer, end with a challenge: choose truth over flattery and courage over quiet. We open with gratitude and move straight into a hard claim about violence and the silence that often follows. When evil strikes soft targets, who speaks clearly, quickly, and without excuse—and who hedges? That question sets the tone for a wide-ranging, scripture-soaked conversation about conscience, leadership, and the kind of wisdom that outlasts headlines. We anchor the heart with 1 Peter 3’s visio...

The American Soul ·

2026/01/05

What holds a country together when opinions pull it apart? We take a hard, honest look at the role of a shared language in sustaining civic trust, why English as a national language is more than bureaucracy, and how assimilation can honor heritage while opening the door to full participation in American life. With a bracing assist from Theodore Roosevelt’s words on Americanization, we explore the delicate balance between cultural pride and civic unity—and why staying in permanent enclaves wea...

At Least I’m Not That Guy Is How You Become That Guy

The American Soul ·

2026/01/03

Stop grading life on a curve. We challenge the easy habit of saying “at least I’m not like them” and point our aim at something higher: Christlike excellence in personal character, marriage, and love of country. From the opening prayer to the closing blessing, we walk through Scripture, history, and practical choices that shape a home, a church, and a nation. We start with the lie of comparison and why it weakens souls, schools, and states. Instead of measuring ourselves against neighbors, w...

Loving America Means Loving Its Values

The American Soul ·

2026/01/02

Love of country isn’t fireworks and hashtags; it’s the quiet, costly work of living the values that made America worth loving in the first place. We dig into what that actually looks like—how minutes, money, and habits reveal our true loyalties—and why a nation’s character rises or falls on the daily choices of its people. We anchor the conversation where the founders often did: the general principles of Christianity as a moral framework that guards liberty. From Titus 2, we outline a patter...

The American Soul ·

2026/01/01

Start with humility, move with courage, and aim for liberty that actually lasts. That’s the arc we trace as we connect the dots between personal faith, public authority, and the conditions that make freedom possible. We open in prayer for leaders, families, teachers, and first responders, then press into the central claim: a society that banishes God from public life cannot keep the fruits of peace, safety, and liberty. From there, we lay out concrete steps. First, renewal starts at home and...

Rebuilding Life On Rock, Not Noise

The American Soul ·

2025/12/31

What if your calendar is preaching a creed you never meant to adopt? We open with gratitude and a candid look at how easily entertainment and sports can drift from gift to god, stealing hours meant for Scripture, prayer, marriage, family, and neighbor. It’s not a guilt spiral; it’s an invitation to trade noise for nourishment and rebuild life on rock, not sand. Together we walk through Matthew 7 to test teachers and trends by their fruit and to measure our foundations before the storm hits. ...

The American Soul ·

2025/12/30

A knee shattered in World War I. The same knee hit again in World War II. Archibald Roosevelt’s story isn’t about chasing glory; it’s about answering the call when every excuse would be understandable. We trace that rare resolve to a deeper root—faith, duty, and a willingness to serve when comfort urges retreat. We walk through the Roosevelt brothers’ grit, then pivot to a different kind of strength found in scripture. Paul’s teaching on marriage reframes love as mutual devotion, not contrac...

When You Lift Others Up, Your Burden Feels Lighter

The American Soul ·

2025/12/29

A quiet ER visit turned into a wake-up call about perspective, gratitude, and the simple discipline of helping someone who is hurting more than we are. From that moment, we pull on a thread that runs through marriage, prayer, courage under fire, and a wartime Christmas message that still speaks with force today. We walk through Matthew 6 and its countercultural map for private devotion: give without fanfare, pray without performance, fast without display. The focus is not on religious optics...

Where Is Your Treasure When Nations Tremble?

2025/12/27

What if the most urgent work in a restless nation starts in the hidden room—where no one sees, no one applauds, and God meets us in secret? We open with gratitude and prayer, then trace a straight line from Scripture to the choices shaping families, churches, and civic life right now. The core challenge is unapologetic: treat children as blessings, not accessories; honor covenant marriage as mutual self-giving; and build habits of quiet devotion that anchor public courage. We walk through 1 ...

If The Government Can Evict You, Do You Own Anything

The American Soul ·

2025/12/26

What does it mean to “own” anything if a missed tax bill can cost you your home? We take a hard look at property taxes, why they function like rent to the state, and how tying schools and services to levies on a few erodes trust across an entire community. Then we sketch a clearer, fairer path: transparent consumption-based taxes that spread the cost of roads, classrooms, and public safety while protecting the sanctity of the home and giving everyone real skin in the game. From there, we tur...

2025/12/25

What if the most important work you do today is simply turning toward the people you love? We start with loss, not to linger in sorrow, but to remember what actually lasts. Things break. Trends fade. Screens keep scrolling. People are eternal, and how we treat them shapes our homes, our communities, and our future. From that center, we dive into Ephesians 5 and talk plainly about marriage as a living picture of Christ and the church. It’s not a contest for control but a call to mutual honor:...

The American Soul ·

2025/12/24

What if the gap between our dreams and our reality isn’t talent, but effort ordered by love? We explore why so many of us crave high reward with low effort and how a clear hierarchy—God, spouse, family, country—reorients our days toward what truly matters. Along the way, we get practical about marriage, drawing on Hebrews 13:4 to show how honor and fidelity aren’t drab rules but the engine of trust, joy, and resilience. Luke 2 takes center stage through Linus’s timeless recitation from A Cha...
