Description
Just Liberty: Where Justice and Liberty Meet
The whole idea of religious freedom in America has taken a PR hit. For some, it’s a cover for bigotry or tool for Christian nationalists; for others it’s the last line of defense in a society that’s becoming hostile to traditional faith.
Is there a better way to think and talk about religious freedom in America that doesn’t buy into political extremes?
Join hosts Alan Reinach, executive director of the Church-State Council, who has been litigating religious liberty cases for nearly 40 years, and Bettina Krause, editor of Liberty Magazine, which has been at the forefront of religious liberty conversations since 1906. Together, they interview experts in law, politics, and faith, and tackle tough religious freedom questions, not just from the courts but also from culture.
Listen to Just Liberty for a fresh, balanced take on religious liberty and church-state issues.
