The success of America is, at least in part, dependent upon its citizens\' ability to \\u201cself-govern,\\u201d John Stonestreet says. 

\\u201cFaith and family are the most obvious\\u201d ingredients required for people to be able to govern themselves, says Stonestreet, president of the nonprofit Colson Center and host of the \\u201cBreakpoint\\u201d podcast. The Colorado Springs, Colo.-based Colson Center was founded by Chuck Colson, who served in the Nixon administration and went on to become one of the most influential Christian thought leaders of his time.

Why?

Because faith and family \\u201cplay the most significant role in forming us,\\u201d he explained. But today, much of the U.S. population has lost sight of these two necessities for self-governance. 

According to a recent Gallup poll, 68% of Americans say they identify with a Christian religion, whether in the Protestant or Catholic tradition, but 24 years ago, that number was 86%. 

Today, children being told they may have been born in the wrong body, abortion still the leading cause of death among babies, and about 1 in every 4 U.S. children is growing up without a father in the home, according to the National Fatherhood Initiative. 

Stonestreet joins \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d to discuss how Christians can rise to meet the current moment in history with hope and solutions to the troubles facing America. Stonestreet also discusses Christians\\u2019 role within politics.
