Over the past few years I've been joined by some of society's most influential thinkers, writers, and leaders to talk about the important ideas shaping our society today, as well as some of the top issues of life in the Digital Public Square. The purpose of this podcast from the very beginning was to equip you to navigate these issues with wisdom.For all good things must come to an end, and this is the last episode of the Digital Public Square podcast given my transition late last year to Boyce College and the shift in my role here at the ERLC. We decided to shift our research podcast strategy and combine efforts with the main ERLC podcast, which many of you already know and love. The change will allow me to continue interviewing top thinkers and writers about their work as part of a larger network of listeners at the podcast. While this may be the end of the Digital Public Square podcast in this season, I hope these resources will continue to bless the church as she engages in the tasks set before us by Christ: to love God and to love our neighbors as our self.If you're not already subscribed to the podcast you can visit ERLC.com/podcast as well as major podcast platforms.—The Digital Public Square is a production of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and is produced and hosted by Jason Thacker. Production assistance is provided by Kadin Christian. Technical production provided by Owens Productions. It is edited and mixed by Mark Owens.

Psalm 139:14 says that each life is “fearfully and wonderfully made” by God. Out of all of his creation, Genesis tells us that human life alone is made in His image. Because of this truth, we bear a responsibility to help preserve and protect all lives. This is why the work of pregnancy resource centers across the country and abroad is vital. The individuals in these centers commit themselves to the work of proclaiming the dignity of preborn lives, doing all they can to give them a chance at life while serving the vulnerable women and families who walk through their doors. And it's also why partnership among Southern Baptists is essential. We can do more to protect life, together. On today's episode, you'll hear from a special guest, Karen Roseberry. She spent much of her life dedicated to serving both women and preborn children as the executive director of Care Net Women's Resource Center in Lancaster, California. Tragically, Karen lost her life in a car accident shortly after we conducted this interview, but the staff of Care Net encouraged us to share her words with you since this work was a great passion of her life.  Karen left a lasting impression everywhere she served and led many women to know Jesus as their Savior and choose life for their babies. She will be greatly missed, but the important work of the center continues onward as they work to provide free support and resources for women and families in their community. You'll also hear from Todd Unzicker who serves as executive director-treasurer for North Carolina Baptists. Todd is passionate about the local church and the Great Commission, and his vision for North Carolina Baptists is focused on rallying them to be a movement of churches on mission together.The ERLC podcast is a production of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.It is produced by Lindsay Nicolet and Elizabeth Bristow.Technical production is provided by Owens Productions. It is edited and mixed by Mark Owens.

In today's episode, I am joined by Dr. Dennis Hollinger to talk about his new book entitled Creation and Christian Ethics: Understanding God's Designs for Humanity and the World from Baker Academic. Today, we discuss how creation speaks to the foundations of the Christian ethic and how we might recover a richer vision of humanity in light of God's creation.Meet Dennis:Dennis Hollinger is president emeritus and senior distinguished professor of Christian ethics at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He received the BA from Elizabethtown College, the M.Div. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, the MPhil and PhD from Drew University, and did postdoctoral studies at Oxford University. He has written numerous works on Christian ethics, including Choosing the Good: Christian Ethics in a Complex World and The Meaning of Sex: Christian Ethics and the Moral Life.Resources:Creation and Christian Ethics: Understanding God's Designs for Humanity and the World by Dennis HollingerThe Doctrine of Creation: A Constructive Kuyperian Approach by Bruce Ashford and Craig BartholomewYou're Only Human: How Your Limits Reflect God's Design and Why That's Good News by Kelly KapicA Time to Build: From Family and Community to Congress and the Campus, How Recommitting to Our Institutions Can Revive the American Dream by Yuval Levin—The Digital Public Square is a production of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and is produced and hosted by Jason Thacker. Production assistance is provided by Kadin Christian.

We believe it's clear in God's Word that his perfect design is for many people to eventually unite as one man and one woman in a lifetime of marriage. That marriage, in many cases, leads to the blessing of children and establishes a family that glorifies God and benefits society. Unfortunately, in a fallen world, reality is messy. Marriage is put off and misunderstood. Families are broken and difficult. Infertility is faced far too often. And children are vulnerable and in need. That's where adoption and foster care comes in to provide care for these children and help them find the loving and safe families that they were made for. The need for these ministries, organizations, and for people to get involved has only grown since the Dobbs decision overturning a federal right to abortion. Joining us on this episode is Herbie Newell, someone who understands this reality more than most. He's the president & executive director of Lifeline Children's Services and its ministry arms. Under Herbie's leadership, Lifeline has increased international outreach to 25 countries through adoption and strategic orphan care, obtained licensure in 17 states, and established the foster care arm at Lifeline. The ERLC podcast is a production of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.It is produced by Lindsay Nicolet and Elizabeth Bristow.Technical production is provided by Owens Productions. It is edited and mixed by Mark Owens.

The mission entrusted to the ERLC by the Southern Baptist Convention includes applying Christian principles to moral and social problems and questions of public policy and promoting religious liberty. One of the ways we do this is through our public policy advocacy, both in Washington, D.C., and throughout individual states. Every year, we compile and release a public policy agenda, highlighting the key pieces of federal legislation our staff is watching and working on within our four categories of priority: life, religious liberty, marriage and family, and human dignity.  More recently, we've also started assembling a state policy agenda, focusing on our cooperation with Baptist state conventions in advocating at the state level. On today's episode, you'll hear from Hannah Daniel, our director of public policy who is based in D.C., and Brent Leatherwood, president of the ERLC. They'll explain the importance of our policy agendas and highlight major pieces of legislation that matter to Southern Baptists. The ERLC podcast is a production of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.It is produced by Lindsay Nicolet and Elizabeth Bristow.Technical production is provided by Owens Productions. It is edited and mixed by Mark Owens.

In this episode, I am joined by Matthew Martens to talk about his new book entitled Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal from Crossway. Today, we discuss the nature of justice in the Christian life and how Christians can think about criminal justice reform through a biblical lens.Meet Matthew:Matt is a trial lawyer and partner at an international law firm in Washington, DC. He earned his JD from University of North Carolina School of Law and a Masters of Arts in Biblical Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary. He has spent the majority of his twenty-five year legal career practicing criminal law both as a federal prosecutor and as a defense attorney. He served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist at the US Supreme Court and also as a political appointee in the criminal justice division of the US Justice Department.Resources:Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal by Matthew MartensBasic Christian Ethics by Paul RamseyThe Collapse of American Criminal Justice by William J.

God's Word, from the very beginning, affirms the dignity of all human life. Genesis 1 tells us that at the end of the creation process, “God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.' … 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” This reveals to us that every person is made in the imago Dei, the image of God. And this means that every life, regardless of age, ability, or any other feature, has infinite value that cannot be taken away. The rest of the Bible unwaveringly affirms this truth. The pro-life movement is grounded in this reality and, most fundamentally, has sought to protect our tiniest citizens from the horrors of abortion. The culmination of this work was realized on  June 24, 2022, a historic day of celebration as the Supreme Court ruled to overturn the constitutional right to abortion and return abortion legislation back to the states. This was a long-time unifying goal of the pro-life movement. According to The New York Times, since the court's ruling, abortion access has dropped overall, with 21 states banning or restricting it and others reinforcing abortion protections.However, the fight for life and the mission of the pro-life movement is far from over, and there's still much work to be done on the local, state, and federal levels. New frontiers have arisen, with abortion tourism, or travel for abortions across state lines, and chemical abortions, or abortion pills, gaining momentum across our country. As we begin our series, we'll talk to several guests who will give us a clear picture of the current state of the pro-life movement since last year's historic Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision. You'll hear from Benjamin Watson, a former NFL tight end, as well as a writer, speaker, and activist. He is the author of, “The New Fight for Life: Roe, Race, and a Pro-Life Commitment to Justice.” He serves as vice president of strategic relationships with the Human Coalition, one of the largest pro-life and pro-woman organizations in the country. Along with his wife, Kirsten, he is the founder of The Watson 7 Foundation, a nonprofit focused on strengthening families. The Watsons live in Georgia with their seven children.Also joining us is Herbie Newell, president & executive director of Lifeline Children's Services and its ministry arms. He holds a Master's of Business Administration in Accounting from Samford University. Under Herbie's leadership, Lifeline has increased international outreach to 25 countries through adoption and strategic orphan care, obtained licensure in 17 states, and established the foster care arm at Lifeline. Finally, you'll hear from Dr. Bart Barber, who is pastor of First Baptist Church of Farmersville, Texas, and president of the Southern Baptist Convention.Our goal on the ERLC Podcast is to help you think biblically about today's cultural issues. As we discuss important topics that matter to Southern Baptists, you might have additional questions. We'd love to hear from you.

A few weeks ago, we learned that Genesis 1 teaches God created us male and female in his image. Because we're created, God gets to set the boundaries for our lives. But, the fall and our sin nature affects how we view ourselves and our bodies. We also heard about the sexual revolution and how it feeds us the same lie the serpent did in the garden: Did God really say? Today's discussion is going to explore the sexual revolution more in depth and how Christians can think about it. You are going to hear again from our colleagues on the Research team, Alex Ward and Jason Thacker. We're also going to hear from our friend Katie McCoy.We would love to hear from you about how you're processing this conversation and what questions you're facing related to issues of gender and sexuality.

From the age of 17-24 Mark was a junkie. In and out of rehabs, jails and prisons he had a mindset shift while on Lock Up for an attempted escape from a county jail. A few years later, when he got out of prison, he put together a life beyond his wildest dreams. In 2020 he had over 100 rental units until he began downsizing and is now 95% retired and looking for some new hobbies. He spends his time travelling in his RV, scuba diving, flying planes and going to the highest points of all 50 states. (8 to go) Get in touch with Mark:  www.markowens.com

In this riveting Inside The Wolfs Den episode, Shawn and Joni interview successful real estate entrepreneur Mark Owens. Now a thriving mentor and multi-millionaire with over 100 rental units, Mark coaches investors to acquire and build robust property portfolios. However, life was not always so bright for the passionate real estate investor. Listen in as he recounts the incredible true life stories of his early years in Baltimore, where he navigated a dark path riddled with drugs, guns, and crime, culminating in a slew of bank robberies and ultimately serving a lengthy sentence in federal prison. While inside, Mark stumbled across the book You Can If You Think You Can by best-selling self-help author Norman Vincent Peale. The chance encounter with Dr. Peale's powerful philosophies would alter Mark's course forever and turn his life around. He recommitted his talents, energy, and experiences toward establishing credit and beginning his transformational real estate journey. Mark's fantastic breakthrough and story of triumph is one that he wants to share with the world as he encourages those who are struggling that it gets better; how anyone can start at rock bottom and become successful. "You can if you think you can." The three business leaders discuss having a strong mindset, believing in yourself, taking complete ownership of your life, and accepting 100% accountability.
