On the next State of Belief Radio, you’ll hear some highlights from past shows that are well worth hearing again:

We’ll revisit a 2014 conversation with journalist Patricia Miller, author of Good Catholics: The Battle over Abortion in the Catholic Church.

Also, Nate Phelps, son of the late founder of the Westboro Baptist Church hate cult Fred Phelps. He continues to work on an autobiographical film, now titled, Not My Father’s Child.

And with so much focus on religion and the courts, it’s a good time to rewind to 2008 for my interview with Karl Giberson, author of Saving Darwin: How to Be a Christian and Believe in Evolution.

On the #RADIO show today, we cover the latest in Trump's war against women, children, and families; get insight into how art, culture, and social change intersect; hear about the power of stories, including your story!; and get the inside scoop on family separation and detention and what you can do to most effectively fight for all of us to be treated fairly.

*Special guests include Fatima Goss Graves, National Women’s Law Center, @NWLC; Seayoung Yim, MomsRising and playwright of Persimmon Nights, @MomsRising; Justina Chen, award-winning author, @JustinaYChen

Under John Roberts, Supreme Court decisions are consistently pro-business, recently based on corporate rights of free speech and freedom of religion. How did we get here? Will it only get worse with the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh? Listen to my conversation with ADAM WINKLER, constitutional law professor at UCLA and author of Gunfight: The Battle over the Right to Bear Arms in America and his latest, We the Corporations: How American Businesses Won Their Civil Rights.
