Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss the Trump Administration’s report on alleged anti-Christian bias within the federal government. The conversation examines claims that Christians faced discrimination under previous federal policies, the creation of the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, and what its findings could mean for religious liberty, government neutrality, and the future relationship between faith and public policy.
In the second segment of the show, we explore the court case Weems v. Association of Related Churches, examining whether civil courts should intervene in disputes over church governance and leadership. The panel discusses church autonomy, internal religious investigations, and the constitutional protections that limit government involvement in matters of religious organization and ministry.
About the Show: Faith and Politics is a show dedicated to discussing issues surrounding the intersection of Church, State and politics and the examination of whether you are allowing your faith to shape your politics or your politics starting to shape your faith. What do you do when God and government come face to face?
