Скачать или смотреть From Linus To FDR: Faith, Duty, And Keeping Christmas All Year

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 Charlie Brown Christmas, reminding us that Christmas isn’t a date—it’s a way to live. Hear, hurry, see, share, worship: the shepherds give us a rhythm for the whole year. We dig into why media choices shape our souls, how a recent Grinch adaptation quietly nods toward deeper truths, and why families should seek stories that teach courage, sacrifice, and grace.

We also spotlight Medal of Honor recipient Nicholas S. Bouquet, an immigrant who risked everything at Wilson’s Creek—an example of character forged by virtue, not birthplace. Then we draw strength from FDR’s 1938 Christmas messages to the military and the nation, where he calls America a republic and grounds public hope in the providence of God. The throughline is simple and demanding: if Christ is the point, then our habits must reflect His teachings in our marriages, our work, our entertainment, and our civic life.
