Join Centennial Institute for an incredible evening with noted author and thought leader, Dr. Arthur C. Brooks

Millions today describe a growing sense of emptiness, a lack of purpose and significance. And there's a reason: Rapid cultural, economic, and technological changes have rewired our brains, reducing their ability to perceive depth and purpose. Brooks will consider what it means to reclaim our happiness for the modern age.

Six weeks ago at the Western Conservative Summit, Sen. Ben Sasse spoke candidly about living with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and about the experimental drug that had shrunk his tumors when he'd been given months to live.

On August 26, the FDA approved that drug.

This morning, Megyn Kelly played part of that Summit conversation on her AM Update while covering the approval: https://open.spotify.com/podcast-chapter/0fJ9U8xqbmWzTgaG2GYPl5?si=fbe4ae250fa24b74

We're grateful Sen. Sasse chose to share something so personal with our audience, and we continue to pray for him, Melissa, and their kids.

America’s founders understood the necessity of a strong moral foundation to ensure the survival of this great experiment in liberty.

We hosted Dr. Vincent Phillip Muñoz in April to examine what he terms "the three revolutions of 1776." His remarks are highlighted in this quarter's Centennial Review.

Join the National Endowment for the Humanities and Centennial Institute for the Faith and Freedom Speaker Series: Christianity and the Spirit of 1776, featuring Dr. Mark David Hall.

Despite being the only Founder to help draft every major founding document, Roger Sherman is largely unknown today. Not merely present as these foundational documents were crafted, Sherman served on the five-man committee that wrote the Declaration of Independence, was among the most significant delegates to the Constitutional Convention, and as a Representative and Senator in the new republic he played important roles in the drafting the Bill of Rights and debates over the proper scope of the national government’s power. This talk highlights Sherman’s contributions to the creation of the American republic and considers why such a significant founder is largely forgotten today.

Join the Centennial Institute for our upcoming Last Lecture event with Dr. Lacy Cleveland, CCU Associate Professor of Health Sciences.

Our world is steadily becoming dominated by screens. We are losing what it means to be human and interact with the natural world – and it’s coming at a cost to our mental, physical, and social health. Dr. Cleveland will examine the benefits of engaging with our physical world and discuss what it means to go “back to the garden” to ensure human flourishing in our culture today.
