The one virtue America lost — and desperately needs back
Faith is everything to me. I believe in Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, and I’m not shy about saying so. Many Americans feel uncomfortable talking about faith, and many others insist religion should stay out of the public square. I disagree. As a Christian, I want more people to know Jesus, who loves them more than they can imagine.
But I also know that people walk different spiritual paths. Some pray differently. Some worship a different god. Others reject religion altogether. America now holds more faith traditions — and more people with no faith — than at any point in our history. That diversity can spark friction, and as politics fills the void left by declining religious belief, many have turned ideological loyalties into a kind of substitute religion.
America’s diversity guarantees disagreement. It always has. But even in conflict, we can find places to unite.
The risk is obvious: These differences can push us toward a breaking point. The warning signs already surround us. In a moment like this, we need grace.
What grace demands
In Christianity, grace is God’s love poured out freely. Eternal life is His gift — not because we earn it or because we are good, but because God is good.
On Earth, grace takes a more practical form. It means giving each other the benefit of the doubt. It means forgiving mistakes. It means choosing generosity instead of suspicion. And it means approaching someone else’s beliefs with curiosity rather than contempt.
For reasons I still struggle to understand, Americans have stopped trying to understand one another.
Last year, I hosted a meeting of community, business, and faith leaders in my hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The agenda was full of topics that normally light a fuse: poverty, economic exclusion, racial tensions. Before we began, I admitted that some of the terms we would use carried heavy baggage and that I might say something imperfectly myself. I asked only one thing: a little grace.
That simple request set the tone for the whole day. People pushed through the hard conversations and started looking for solutions. We found common ground in places no one expected. The debate stayed calm because everyone extended grace before they demanded it.
I wish that spirit were more common today.
Why grace is hard — and necessary
Too many people explode at the first sign of disagreement. They judge others more harshly than they judge themselves. They dismiss someone with a different view as beyond redemption. The unspoken thought is always the same: Why bother? They won’t listen to me, so why should I listen to them?

It’s a natural impulse, but grace calls us to something higher. It reminds us that the person across from us carries the same human frailties we do.
Grace does not mean surrendering your convictions. It does not ask you to dilute what you believe or pretend serious disagreements don’t matter. It simply asks you to respect the strength of someone else’s convictions, even when you oppose them. It asks you to accept that everyone is imperfect — including you. And because each of us hopes for forgiveness when we stumble, grace asks that we extend that same forgiveness to others.
America’s diversity guarantees disagreement. It always has. But even in conflict, we can find places to unite. Recovering that unity starts with a simple choice: showing each other a little grace.
Glenn Beck warns of 3 potential economic outcomes that could drastically change America’s future
Is economic doom on America’s horizon?
“The end of the year economic data is beginning to come out and to say that it’s not the best might be an understatement,” says Glenn Beck. “There’s some warning signs for 2026 and beyond.”
In this riveting episode of “Glenn TV,” Glenn outlines three potential economic futures for 2026.
Outcome #1: A K-shaped economy
A K-shaped economy, Glenn explains, happens when “the rich get richer,” while the middle and lower classes suffer. “They lose jobs; they’re priced out of basic goods and services; and in the case of young people now just hitting the workforce, they fail to achieve the American dream and own any kind of property,” he explains.
What happens next is people, especially youth, begin to see things like socialism and even communism as salvation. This just played out in New York City with the election of Muslim Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani as mayor.
Once the American people at large start seeing centralized power as the answer to all our problems, “The American experiment goes away,” warns Glenn.
Outcome #2: Outcome #1 on steroids
The second possibility, says Glenn, is everything in outcome number one plus a long chain of economic disasters: unemployment skyrockets thanks to artificial intelligence; then the Fed goes on an interest-cutting spree; this leads to bailout programs and money printing; inflation soars; and finally, the U.S. dollar dies.
Outcome #3: Weather the storm, thrive in the revolution
A third potential outcome, says Glenn, is that “what we’re seeing right now [with the economy] is just temporary pain.” It’s plausible that every economic slump is something “the Trump administration has been preparing for.”
“I just got off the phone with the president yesterday, and we spoke about this,” says Glenn.
Trump’s response? “I got it.”
“He knows we’re on the brink of major societal change … but a new economic global system is now being built by him, and all of the levers are being pulled to ensure we remain resilient for the change that is coming,” says Glenn.
Change, whether we like it or not, is inevitable, he assures. “We’re at the threshold of another industrial revolution,” where development will be so rapid, it will eclipse the achievements of all human history combined.
“How we navigate this new world depends on the moves that we’re making right now,” he says.
