Show notes:
In the first segment, we explore how Jimmy Carter integrated his Christian faith into his political career. Our panelists discuss how Carter’s deeply held beliefs shaped his presidency, his commitment to service, and his vision for a just and moral government. Did his faith help him heal a divided nation, or did it challenge the traditional separation of religion and politics?
In the second segment, we examine Jordan Cernek v. Argyle School District, a case raising questions about religious freedom and pronoun policies in schools. The panelists debate whether the firing of a Wisconsin teacher for refusing to use students’ preferred pronouns was a violation of free speech and religious rights or a necessary enforcement of inclusive policies.
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?
