Radio Free Acton – Why You Think The Way You Do
Radio Free Acton – Why You Think The Way You Do
Feb 11, 2026 6:53 AM

Radio Free Acton is back, this week featuring an interview with Dr. Glenn Sunshine. Dr. Sunshine is Chair of the History Department at Central Connecticut State University, and a Research Fellow at the Acton Institute. He’s also the author of a brand new book – available now at the Acton Bookshoppe – entitled Why You Think The Way You Do: The Story of Western Worldviews from Rome to Home. I had a chance recently to sit down with Dr. Sunshine and discuss his book, the importance of worldview, and some of the parallels between the declining Roman empire and modern society.

Verse of the Day
  Matthew 7:24-27 In-Context   22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?'   23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'   24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on 1 Peter 5:5-9   (Read 1 Peter 5:5-9)   Humility preserves peace and order in all Christian churches and societies; pride disturbs them. Where God gives grace to be humble, he will give wisdom, faith, and holiness. To be humble, and subject to our reconciled God, will bring greater comfort to the soul than the gratification...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on James 1:1-11   (Read James 1:1-11)   Christianity teaches men to be joyful under troubles: such exercises are sent from God's love; and trials in the way of duty will brighten our graces now, and our crown at last. Let us take care, in times of trial, that patience, and not passion, is set to work...
Verse of the Day
  Romans 8:6-8 In-Context   4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.   5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on 1 John 4:7-13   (Read 1 John 4:7-13)   The Spirit of God is the Spirit of love. He that does not love the image of God in his people, has no saving knowledge of God. For it is God's nature to be kind, and to give happiness. The law of God is love; and all...
Verse of the Day
  Daniel 4:34-35 In-Context   32 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.   33 Immediately what had been said about...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Psalm 57:7-11   (Read Psalm 57:7-11)   By lively faith, David's prayers and complaints are at once turned into praises. His heart is fixed; it is prepared for every event, being stayed upon God. If by the grace of God we are brought into this even, composed frame of mind, we have great reason to be...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Psalm 27:1-6   (Read Psalm 27:1-6)   The Lord, who is the believer's light, is the strength of his life; not only by whom, but in whom he lives and moves. In God let us strengthen ourselves. The gracious presence of God, his power, his promise, his readiness to hear prayer, the witness of his Spirit...
Verse of the Day
  Commentary on Today's Verse   Commentary on Ecclesiastes 5:9-17   (Read Ecclesiastes 5:9-17)   The goodness of Providence is more equally distributed than appears to a careless observer. The king needs the common things of life, and the poor share them; they relish their morsel better than he does his luxuries. There are bodily desires which silver itself will not satisfy, much less...
Verse of the Day
  Jeremiah 32:17 In-Context   15 For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields and vineyards will again be bought in this land.'   16 After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord:   17 Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your...
