Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss a Lifeway Research study highlighting Southern Baptists’ views on religious liberty and church-state separation. The study reveals that most Southern Baptists reject Christian nationalism, advocating for religious freedom for all and opposing government favoritism toward any specific religion. Schultz and Golden unpack how these findings reflect historic Baptist principles and their relevance in today’s political landscape.
In the second segment of the show, we explore the ongoing legal battle of Jack Phillips, the Masterpiece Cakeshop baker. As Phillips defends his refusal to create a cake celebrating a gender transition, the Colorado Supreme Court examines whether custom cakes constitute constitutionally protected speech. We analyze the legal and cultural implications of this high-profile case.
About the Show: Faith & 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?
