Podcasts about crisis exercising your faith

Summary: Judge Kenneth Starr joins Dr. Jim Denison and Dr. Mark Turman to discuss the Constitution, religious liberty, the Supreme Court, the separation of church and state, and how Christians can find hope for the future of religious liberty.    Show notes: Judge Kenneth Starr (former solicitor for the U.S.), Dr. Denison, and Dr. Turman discuss the state of American law and religious liberty, which is covered in fuller length in Judge Starr's book Religious Liberty in Crisis. They consider some of the biggest questions posing America. They reflect on the Constitution, why it's so permanent and important, the protection of religious liberty, and some relevant religious liberty cases in recent years.    Dr. Denison first discusses the Equality Act and the danger it poses to religious liberty. Judge Starr shares the same concerns but has faith that the Supreme Court will uphold the Constitution if the Equality Act were to become law. Judge Starr suggests that the Constitution will be an excellent “sea wall” to the coming cultural tsunami Dr. Denison writes about in The Coming Tsunami.   They then delve into a discussion of the church-state separation, which Judge Starr unpacks and deconstructs. Yes, the states must remain neutral in regards to religion, but that does not mean they should be hostile to it. He encourages more nuance when we discuss the so-called wall of separation. Dr. Denison describes the two extremes that evangelicals can often take: running from politics or thinking that only Christians should run the government. As faithful Christians, we should be involved in the culture and politics, but we should also keep the kingdom of God separate from “Caesar's” kingdom.    Dr. Denison and Judge Starr then consider the purpose of the federal courts, specifically the Supreme Court's role in our government, and how it is often misunderstood. Within this, they take a close look at the new celebrity status many Justices are acquiring. Dr. Denison delves into the new wave of celebrity culture that pervades America at large.    Finally, Judge Starr defines some confusing terms, like accommodation and stare decisis, and why they might be relevant to some cases now before the court. Judge Starr also considers the possibility of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, at least at the federal level. He then gives final, parting thoughts about the permanence of the Supreme Court and the political climate.    Resources and further reading:   Religious Liberty in Crisis: Exercising Your Faith in an Age of Uncertainty - Kenneth Starr   “Ken Starr's ‘Religious Liberty in Crisis' is an indispensable guide to defending religious freedom” - Jim Denison “Why the Equality Act is the greatest threat to religious liberty today” - Greg Baylor, Dr. Jim Denison “The Equality Act: What Christians need to know” - Dr. Jim Denison  “Will the Supreme Court protect religious liberty?” - Mark Legg   About the featured guest Judge Kenneth Starr has argued thirty-six cases before the US Supreme Court, including when he was US Solicitor General.

“Religious liberty” is a phrase that we often hear, particularly in news stories revolving around Supreme Court decisions. But what is religious liberty and why is it often referred to as “the first liberty?” These are among the questions addressed in Kenneth Starr's 2021 book, Religious Liberty in Crisis: Exercising Your Faith in an Age of Uncertainty (Encounter, 2021) Although Judge Starr possesses impeccable scholarly credentials, the book is intended for general readers. It is an informative blend of American legal and constitutional history and a primer for all of us about a crucial component of our set of rights as citizens. Even if you are not religious, the book will endow you with a greater understanding of an issue that frequently roils the body politic and that is both timeless and of ongoing concern. Think Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission—decided by the Supreme Court in 2018. Luckily, we have with us today one of America's leading lawyers to walk us through the fascinating history of religious liberty and give us the lowdown on what we need to know should we find ourselves facing a choice between honoring our sabbath day and keeping our jobs. Kenneth Starr has been a figure of great note on the American legal landscape for decades. He is perhaps best known for his role in the Whitewater investigation during the Clinton administration and as a key member of Donald Trump's defense team in the latter's first impeachment trial. He has been among other things, a federal judge at the highest levels, a law school dean and a university president. Most significantly in terms of the subject matter of his new book and thus the main focus of our interview, he is a long-time champion of religious liberty and, as solicitor general under George HW Bush, argued before the Supreme Court such notable religious liberty and freedom of speech cases as Westside Community Schools v. Mergens, in which the Supreme Court found that a Bible club has the same right of equal access on school grounds as any other student-led organization. Judge Starr employs that famous case to illustrate one of the concepts discussed in book, equality. It is a cause dear to his heart and probably even more so given own quite humble origins in his home state of Texas. The common man aspects of Starr's background have enabled him to make this book approachable to its intended broad-ranging audience. Most of us at one time or another have found ourselves in school, work or business environments or simply driving along a highway and it is surprising how often questions involving religious liberty pop up for average people in such settings. Starr guides the reader engagingly and expertly through such questions as: What is the Lemon Test? What do you need to know about religious liberty as a parent, public school or college student, teacher, small business owner or employee? How have wedding cakes, monuments in the shape of Christian crosses, public displays of the Ten Commandments on government property, and government-subsidized school bus rides played into all of this? What is “accommodation” in this context and when might you need to seek one and what should you do if you are denied it? What is the relationship between free speech and religious liberty? We welcome Judge Starr, a Christian gentleman of the first order. Give a listen. Hope J. Leman is a grants researcher. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week on Bring It Up, I am honored to have as my guest Judge Kenneth Starr as we discuss his timely and critically important new book, Religious Liberty in Crisis: Exercising Your Faith in an Age of Uncertainty. With his warm and winsome approach, Judge Starr brings not only the judicial good news from the highest levels, but an inspiring charge to us all as he tackles the challenge before us:   Why is it important for every American to know their rights? How can we protect our right to free speech and religious liberty in an age of cancel culture? How can we each take a more active role in protecting and advancing our religious liberty?

I'm very excited to share this conversation with Kenneth Starr, who served as solicitor general of the United States from 1989-1993. Though he's probably best known for leading the perjury investigation of president Bill Clinton from 1994-98, he may not be as well known for his lifelong work as a public servant and legal education leader. Currently, he serves on the boards of Christian Legal Society, Advocates International and Alliance Defending Freedom. Throughout his career, he has championed the cause of religious liberty and freedom of conscience for all persons. We gathered mainly to discuss his book Religious Liberty in Crisis: Exercising Your Faith in an Age of Uncertainty, which is a very rich account of the constitutionally protected nature of religious practice in America (even though he himself is a practicing Christian, the book emphasizes the freedom available to all all religions, from Shamanic to Islamic). The discussion spoke to my lifelong fascination with religion and belief systems as well as my more recent explorations of public service. Key PointsWhat makes something an "essential" service?

What was unfathomable in the first two decades of the twenty-first century has become a reality. Religious liberty, both in the United States and across the world, is in crisis. As we navigate the coming decades, We the People must know our rights more than ever, particularly as it relates to the freedom to exercise our religion. Armed with a proper understanding of this country's rich tradition of religious liberty, we can protect faith through any crisis that comes our way. Without that understanding, though, we'll watch as the creeping secular age erodes our freedom. In Religious Liberty in Crisis, Ken Starr explores the crises that threaten religious liberty in America. He also examines the ways well-meaning government action sometimes undermines the religious liberty of the people, and how the Supreme Court in the past has ultimately provided us protection from such forms of government overreach. He also explores the possibilities of future overreach by government officials. The reader will learn how each of us can resist the quarantining of our faith within the confines of the law, and why that resistance is important. Through gaining a deep understanding of the Constitutional importance of religious expression, Starr invites the reader to be a part of protecting those rights of religious freedom and taking a more active role in advancing the cause of liberty.

Judge Ken Starr, one of our nation's top lawyers, is our guest. His role as special counsel investigating the Clinton Whitewater matter, led to the impeachment of Pres. Bill Clinton, and earned him a spot on the cover of Time Magazine, along with Pres. Clinton, as their 1998 choice for "Men of the Year".  On the show, we discuss Ken's new book, Religious Liberty in Crisis: Exercising Your Faith in an Age of Uncertainty, that gives Christians easy to learn talking points that can be used to counter any attack by the left against people of faith. We also discuss a new Utah law that makes biological fathers financially responsible for half of all pre-birth costs during a crisis pregnancy, and discuss dangerous political winds surrounding the plan by globalists for a worldwide financial and cultural "Great Reset."

Judge Ken Starr is a pretty familiar name – he has a long history of public service and leadership in a number of different capacities. An attorney, legal scholar, judge, U.S. Solicitor General, law school dean, and was previously President of Baylor University. This is part of the conversation, I asked Ken to share practical advice for how to navigate difficult conversations about religious liberty. And what he believes what we can expect for religious liberty issues in the short- and long-term future. On the previous episode, Judge Starr shared what he calls the “great principles” that really define the American experience. These are the principles of autonomy, freedom of conscience, equal treatment under the law, and more. These principles are then applied to specific areas of public life protected by the First Amendment: speech, press, assembly, and so on. They are at the core of what you might call the American DNA… The basic building blocks for life as a part of this society, indissoluble across the spectrum of individual endeavors and ambition. They all begin with and flow from of the very first constitutionally protected right of all citizens – Religious Freedom. Judge Starr is a pre-eminent scholar on religious liberty – an issue that is increasingly in the spotlight today. He has a new book coming out in a few weeks called Religious Liberty in Crisis: Exercising Your Faith in an Age of Uncertainty from Encounter Books. Pre-order a copy now, wherever books are sold.
