The Changing Earth Audio Drama took us on an epic ride. Erika Moore goes from a woman scrambling for survival to a renowned leader representing the freedoms of all the refugees. Her character is tested repeatedly, but she stays true to what she believes is morally correct. She remembers a country she loved that was free to innovate and create, and she is not willing to let it become a chapter in a history book.

TJ Swenson started the season managing a small community. He grew connections and power. By the end of the season, TJ amassed an army with the backing of the Colonel and the federal government. In the story, he now runs the largest human trafficking network in North America.

Major Cole Virgis started as a man hiding from the world in its current state. He found love, purpose, and passion. By the end, he has a renewed focus and is ready to use his influence to change the world.

I've said many times that the loss of our value system in America has been the biggest threat to the country. An honor system, a code, a love of family always united Americans, no matter where they came from. Many would return a blank stare if you asked people what values they stand for. You will fall for anything if you don't know what you stand for.

Your values are what hold when everything around you is shaken. Take time to write down what you stand for, talk about it with your family, and look for people in your community who share it.

The average American has good intentions, and the vast array of concerns plaguing society keeps our minds scattered. Without a robust value system to unite us, this division and fear will pull us apart. Get involved locally, and vote for your beliefs.
