Starting Right

How Faith Shaped Canada's Foundation


Listen Later

What invisible thread connects Canada's first schoolteacher, the author of a world-famous hymn, and our first Prime Minister? Faith—the golden strand woven throughout Canadian history that's often overlooked during national celebrations.
Today's special Canada Day episode takes us on a journey through "Canada Portraits of Faith," a collection of 52 remarkable individuals whose spiritual convictions shaped our nation in profound ways.  But the episode also delivers a gentle challenge: not to become a "land of forgetfulness" where conversations about righteousness vanish. Drawing from Matthew 5:13, we're reminded that today's citizens are called to be "salt of the earth," preserving what's good and making a positive difference.

 Whether you're celebrating Canada Day or listening from elsewhere, you're invited to consider how faith can still be a transformative force for good in our communities and nations.
