In this first episode of our new series, Dave lays the cornerstone by drawing a sharp and necessary distinction between two words we often treat as interchangeable: freedom and liberty. With stories ranging from Captain Levi Preston's 1840s recollections to the tale of Joseph in Genesis, Dave shows how liberty—unlike mere freedom—is a deeply rooted condition of the soul. It is not the ability to do whatever one wants. It is the right to self-govern, the responsibility to live uprightly, and the power to say no to tyranny.
