Most Kentuckians are unaware of the powerful role faith and morality play in shaping public policy—and why Christian involvement in government is deeply biblical, not optional. Richard Nelson uncovers how biblical principles justify believers’ active engagement in politics, spotlighting specific legislation that aligns with their values and the risks of remaining silent. Discover why God cares about government, righteousness, and justice, and how these themes are woven into Kentucky’s current legislative session. Richard breaks down key bills, discusses practical steps believers can take, and explores the moral stakes of civic engagement. Perfect for pastors, Christian leaders, and all believers eager to align their civic life with their faith, this episode equips you with biblical justification and practical guidance for meaningful involvement in government.

It’s becoming common for Christian leaders and denominations to reject biblical authority when it comes to human sexuality and marriage. In a recent column in the Lexington Herald-Leader one Kentucky pastor goes so far as to bless the LGBTQ community. The column says Kentucky’s conversion therapy is an affront to the gospel of Jesus Christ. But does God really bless all sexual identities? We are joined by Dr. Hershael York, Dean of the School of Theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and pastor emeritus of Buck Run Baptist Church joins to discuss this.
