Ep. 60: Every Law is MORAL: Christian Political Duty with Doug Richey (ADF)

Is it possible to be a Christian and stay out of politics?
Former Missouri State Representative and pastor Doug Richey — now with Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) — joins Jonathan and David to make the case that political engagement isn't optional for believers. Because every law has a moral element. Every budget is a moral document. And Christians are called to be salt and light — not just in the pew, but in the public square.
Doug breaks down ADF's work defending religious liberty (18 Supreme Court victories and counting), why the "middle ground" has collapsed, and how Christians can engage politics with truth AND grace — without becoming partisan hacks.

📖 Key Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:24-26
