Common Sense with Dr. Ben Carson

by American Cornerstone Institute

Common sense is not so common these days. If you are one of the many people who thinks that to themselves, then this podcast is for you. Each week, Dr. Ben Carson takes you on a personal journey into the issues and headlines Americans face through the lens of 4 cornerstone principles - faith, liberty, community, and life... the basis upon which the greatest nation on earth was founded. The promise of America is alive and well, but it’s not a given. Dr. Carson offers a weekly prescription of things to think about, ideas of what you can do in your own life, and stories to help you make a little more sense of the world.
