The Do Justice Podcast

Attorney Michael Peabody, president of Founders First Freedom, joins me to discuss the Supreme Court’s recent decision in the Maryland “Peace Cross” case (American Legion v. American Association of Humanists, 588 U. S. ____ (2019)). The Court in this case, as Michael astutely observes, essentially jettisons the Lemon test, and in doing so weakens the separation of church and state provided for in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Should Christians rejoice or be concerned about the outcome of this case? You listen and decide!

Gabrielle Blair, mother to 6 kids, New York Times best-selling author, publisher of the award-winning Design Mom blog, and founder of Alt Summit, joins me on this episode to talk about the secret to stopping abortions. The politics surrounding the abortion debate almost uniformly focus on the woman, but Ms. Blair notes that there is another equally responsible party that we rarely discuss. She is happy to share the secret about who holds the key to stopping most abortions. (Please note: listener discretion is advised. Some content on this episode may be inappropriate for young children).

Pastor Travis Walker, lead pastor of the Daytona Beach Seventh-day Adventist Church and a long-time friend, joins me for a lengthy conversation in this episode. We discuss the current polarization in our culture, whether Christians ought to care about finding the truth, and where we believe that the Truth (with a capital "T") can be found.

Kevin Paulson joins me again to talk more about the culture wars - specifically gay rights vs. religious rights. Christians don't have a great track record when it comes to loving those we disagree with. And the way the church has historically treated the LGBTQ community bears witness to that fact. Can Christians model a way forward by loving those on the "other side?"

Theologian, pastor, evangelist, political activist, and prolific writer Kevin Paulson joins me for a conversation on the issue of abortion. Here's an interesting fact: Kevin is a theological conservative and a political liberal! We discuss some of the biblical and public policy issues surrounding this controversial topic, and finish up with some practical ways that we can Do Justice when it comes to abortion.

Fabian Carballo, high school and college history professor, was once “undocumented” himself. In this episode of Do Justice, Fabian shares why Christians ought to care about this issue and how immigrants - undocumented or otherwise - actually help America in multiple ways.

Pastor Trevor Barnes, lead minister at the Appian Way Church in El Sobrante, California, joins me for this first interview. We discuss what it's like to be Black in America in 2019, and Pastor Barnes shares some simple practices which have the potential of bridging the racial divide.
