Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to be a Christian citizen? We begin this episode with a quote from Dr. Richard Land, former head of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. From exploring the fine balance between morality and public virtue, to dissecting the nuances of the First Amendment's guarantee of religious freedom, we delve into the heart of our obligations as Christians - both in the earthly and spiritual realms. Together, we challenge the misconception that morality cannot be legislated, as we delve into the delicate constitutional balance between morality and public virtue.But our journey doesn't end there. Imagine the power each of us holds as individual Christians. We study biblical examples of obedience to God's call, drawing inspiration from David, Gideon, and even George Washington. The power to change the world lies not just in grand gestures but in our day-to-day actions and decisions. As we transition to discussing the role of Christians in politics, we highlight the potency of prayer and the responsibility we bear to participate actively in the political process. The episode concludes with a glimpse of our next interview with Dr Pierre Kory of the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance - a conversation you surely don't want to miss. Join us as we reflect, learn and challenge ourselves to be better Christian citizens.Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/
