In this episode of the Faith Forward Podcast, Pastor Rob McCoy, Pastor Micah Stephens, and Garrett Backstrom dive into a discussion about the newly formed White House Faith Office, examining its leaders and participants while weighing its implications for religious liberty in America, which they view as a positive step.

The trio argues that these issues stem from Christians abandoning their role in politics and the public square, creating a void that the Left and those twisting the Gospel eagerly exploit.
