Phil Robertson

It's kind of when I became politically aware.

And he had an address, his final address in 1989 is called the City on the Hill speech.

Because in that, and I wrote it down, he said this, he said, it's the American vision of creating a new nation of free people, a country that would be a light unto other nations and a shining city on a hill.

And then later in the speech, he said, America is and always shall be a shining city on a hill.

And so I just thought it was interesting that one of the reasons why Reagan was so beloved, and by this time, you know, he already had early symptoms, Alzheimer's, and of course later it would take him, much like it did dad.

You know, when you look at him, he was able to harken back to probably the greatest strength we ever had, which was, you know, for people to just launch out and say, we're going to do this.

And so everything we learn about in between

I just love it that even in our era, my lifetime, you still have people looking back to this notion.

Because that was a line from one of the first guys.

What was his name?

John Winthrop.

Winthrop.

So what a throwback, right?

So it immediately touched me just as a –

a guy who's lived here now for 61 years, that the concept is still good.

No matter what we do and stuff we get into, things that take us off course, the concept of a city on a hill is a good thing, and a biblical thing.

The light that shines, that we hold it out, it's kind of an idea that comes out of Scripture, even from Jesus.

Of course, that's a greater thing.

calling than even America, but I do think it's the idea of it that's sound.

I want you to be sure and sign up with us.
