On today's program, a federal court ruling protects the right of churches and Christian ministries to hire and fire staff members based on religious beliefs.  And we'll take a look at how money given to tax-exempt organizations, including Christian organizations, is going to partisan political causes.  We begin today with what appears to be a body blow to a group that claims to be the oldest Protestant denomination in the United States. The producers for today's program are Rich Roszel and Ben Warwick We get database and other technical support from Cathy Goddard, Stephen DuBarry, and Casey Sudduth.  Writers who contributed to today's program include Anne Stych, Bob Smietana, Alejandra Molina, Steve Rabey, Kathryn Post, Christina Darnell—and you, Warren.

This is a very significant term for the U.S. Supreme Court. They've already heard oral arguments on a case that has the potential to overturn Roe v. Wade. Another case deals with the Texas heartbeat law. Last Friday they heard cases pertaining to vaccine mandates and next week, the case of Shurtleff v. City of Boston comes before the court. --Appearing on Crosstalk to discuss this upcoming case was Mat Staver. Mat is the founder - chairman of Liberty Counsel. He's a constitutional attorney with over 300 published legal opinions, has authored 8 scholarly law review publications and 10 books. He's also filed numerous briefs, argued in many federal and state courts and has also argued two landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Charlie sits down with Kelly Shackelford, Esq., is President and CEO of First Liberty Institute, the largest legal firm in the nation dedicated exclusively to protecting religious freedom for all Americans. Kelly discusses his recent case argued in front of the Supreme Court defending parents' rights to send their children to religious schools that if successful, will empower school choice across the nation. Kelly also explains his case argued before the Federal Court in Ft. Worth in defense of 26 Navy Seals who are threatened with dishonorable discharge, a loss of pension, and other penalties for refusing to get the COVID vaccine on religious exemption grounds—another case that could have national implications for mandates at the federal level. Finally, Charlie and Kelly discuss how even though the nation has trended toward progressivism and secularism, the current makeup of the Supreme Court is poised to deliver more religious freedom to Americans than they have ever had in their lifetimes.  Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/support See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We often take for granted our right to freely practice our religion in the United States. But this right is increasingly coming under attack all over the globe. So how can we protect it? Why should we protect it? Yesterday, President Dallin H. Oaks of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spoke at Sapienza University in Rome about the benefits of religious freedom. Boyd looks at what he said and why it matters.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In what could be called an unfortunate but expected moment of political déjà vu, Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh once again voted to reject religious liberty in support of COVID vaccine mandates and tyranny.

We have nowhere to turn to get our liberties back. The courts are siding with the bad guys. Today, I explain the gross hypocrisy of Justices Barrett and Kavanaugh in contorting fundamental rights, state powers, and religious liberty. The solution is to fight in red-state legislatures and gubernatorial primaries. The most important state is Texas, where Don Huffines is challenging Greg Abbott for the governorship. He joins us today to discuss his plans to fight illegal immigration, COVID fascism, property taxes, cultural Marxism, and federal overreach. He promises to use the bully pulpit to restore biblical values. He also warns that he will show the federal government just how sovereign a state can be.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The 2021 National Lawyers Convention took place November 11-13, 2021 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. The topic of the conference was "Public and Private Power: Preserving Freedom or Preventing Harm?". This panel discussed "Religious Liberty after Fulton v. City of Philadelphia."Fulton v. City of Philadelphia was a victory for religious liberty, but it is unclear how broad its implications will be for other cases and what the opinions in Fulton portend for the future of Employment Division v. Smith. The Court’s majority opinion relied on provisions of Philadelphia’s foster care agency contracting process, but the majority also potentially reworked Smith’s understanding of when government regulation is "generally applicable." Meanwhile, several justices indicated a willingness to revisit Smith altogether, though what a post-Smith free exercise jurisprudence would look like remains unclear. This panel will explore these and other questions raised by Fulton and the future of religious free exercise.Featuring:Prof. Akhil Reed Amar, Sterling Professor of Law, Yale Law SchoolProf. Thomas C. Berg, James L. Oberstar Professor of Law and Public Policy, University of St. Thomas School of LawProf. William Marshall, William Rand Kenan, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Law, University of North Carolina School of LawMs. Lori Windham, Senior Counsel, The Becket Fund for Religious LibertyModerator: Hon.

Protecting the free exercise of religion is a key aspect of fighting antisemitism. Regrettably, modern discourse often restricts the notion of antisemitism to those acts that deliberately target the Jewish people because they are Jewish. This approach overlooks the potential for facially neutral, general laws that burden Jewish religious practice under current free exercise doctrine from the Supreme Court's decision in Employment Division v. Smith. This discussion will consider the legal arguments needed to restore a robust understanding of free exercise, an important bulwark against antisemitism.

Today's interview is with Dr. Carmen Imes, who is the Associate Professor of Old Testament at Biola University in La Mirada, CA. We talk to her about her excellent book, Bearing God's Name: Why Sinai Still Matters. We discuss what the command means when it says, “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain” (Ex. 20:7), and more broadly the role of the law in general. What does it mean to “bear” or “take” God's name in vain? How is the law actually missional for Israel being a light to the nations? How is the law applicable to believers today under the new covenant? We discuss these important questions and many more.

Kanwar Singh, a technologist by day and also a Signal Officer in the US Army Massachusetts National Guard, joins Jerry to share about his journey to America to pursue higher education, what led to him joining the National Guard, and the challenges he has faced to ensure accommodation for him and others religious beliefs. We thank Officer Singh, the US Army, and the Department of Defense for making this interview possible.Meet Kanwar SinghFirst Lieutenant (1LT) Kanwar Singh is a financial services professional by training. After graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2011, he enrolled at Harvard University. While at Harvard, then-Specialist (SPC) Singh attended a speech by Senator John McCain, who encouraged attendees to serve their country through the U.S. military. Inspired by this call to service, as well as the resilience of those who survived the Boston Marathon attack, then-SPC Singh applied to join the Army National Guard in Massachusetts in 2014.In June 2014, then-SPC Singh took the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) exam and scored in the top one percent. Instead of embracing him and giving him an equal opportunity to prove his abilities, the U.S. military subjected him to a frustrating bureaucratic process that lasted nearly two years. In January 2015, then-SPC Singh joined Boston University's ROTC program and participated in all field exercises but was not permitted to do so in uniform. In May 2015, he was selected for the Massachusetts Army National Guard's State Officer Candidate School and later enlisted in the Massachusetts National Guard. At this point, then-SPC Singh submitted a religious accommodation request.While his request was pending, then-SPC Singh was segregated from his battalion and not issued an Army uniform. In December 2015, he met Secretary of Defense Ash Carter at a Harvard University event and publicly asked him whether he would support equal opportunity for Sikhs who wish to serve in the U.S. military. The Defense Secretary applauded then-SPC Singh's desire to serve and emphasized the importance of diversity in our nation's military.In March 2016, while his accommodation request was still pending, then-SPC Singh was asked if he would cut his hair and remove his turban in violation of his religion in order to attend Basic Combat Training. In response, the Sikh Coalition and its partners at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty and the law firm McDermott Will & Emery filed a lawsuit on Specialist Singh's behalf.IMPACTIn response to our lawsuit, the U.S. Army realized that the law is not on its side. After nearly two years of perseverance, then-SPC Kanwar Singh was successfully accommodated by the Massachusetts Army National Guard. Consistent with the Army's promulgation of a new policy accommodating observant Sikhs, the Army issued a new accommodation for then-SPC Singh in January of 2017 that extends throughout his military career.In August 2018, then-Second Lieutenant (2LT) Kanwar Singh successfully graduated from Army Officer Candidate School as part of the Massachusetts Army National Guard.

In their ongoing pursuit of "religious freedom," people step over the bodies of LGBTQ+ youth literally stranded on the street! They turn a blind eye to horrible injustice all around them. Why?? In order to maintain their ideal of pretending they are fighting 'sin.' And pretending that they live a righteous life. We're calling BS on this being about religious liberty. Really, it's just personal preference. And we want to be part of not letting them get away with it anymore.In this episode we talk about how religious liberties are actually not even Biblical. Support the show (https://www.freedhearts.org/donate)

Oaks, the first counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, gave a landmark address a few days ago at the University of Virginia, arguing that religious freedom and nondiscrimination can work together for the common good.

Today's interview is with Dr. Tom Schreiner, the James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation and Professor of Biblical Theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Dr. Schreiner has written a ton of books, including several we love, including his Romans commentary and biblical theology. While Dr. Schreiner has done lots of work in Paul's letters and elsewhere in the NT, we talk to him about the book of Revelation! He has already written a short commentary on Revelation and has a forthcoming book on the topic—but he is working on a longer commentary on Revelation as well. Here we talk about: The central theme of the book of Revelation The biggest mistakes people make when they come to read Revelation The most important Old Testament books for understanding Revelation Some of the hiccups with reading the book “literally” Reading the symbols & numbers in Revelation: 7; 12; 144,000 Revelation as apocalyptic & prophecy How Satan parodies God, such as with the “false trinity” How Satan deceives today Schreiner's process for writing commentaries If God could give Dr. Schreiner one clarification on the book of Revelation, what would it be? New creation millennialism   Terms/Ideas Referenced: Amillennialism: the 1,000 years of Rev. 20 are symbolic of right now, the “church age,” and at the end of this symbolic millennium, Jesus' second coming will occur—in sum, the millennium has been realized and we live in it now Premillennialism: Christ's second coming is before ('pre') the millennium; then Jesus will reign on the earth for a 1,000-yr. period (typically, but not always, a literal 1,000 yrs. in this view) Historic premillennialism: “historic” because many early in the church held this view—Jesus returns prior to a millennium on the earth, but after any period of “tribulation” in the present or future ("posttribulational") Dispensational premillennialism: still premillennial, but often with the emphasis on a future (usually 7-yr.) tribulation and also emphasizing God having future plans for Israel not fulfilled in the church (a "pretribulational" rapture of the church in this view) New creation millennialism: in another's words, “the thousand years of Revelation 20:1-10 begins at the glorious, world-shattering coming of Jesus Christ and has the new creation as its setting”   Recommended Resources from Dr. Schreiner 40 Questions About the End Times (Schnabel) Beale's shorter commentary Jim Hamilton's commentary The Triumph of the Lamb (Johnson) Stephen Smalley's commentary Koester's commentary Breaking the Code (Metzger) Anything by John Frame   Other Radically Normal interviews: On Tour w/ Caroline Cobb (#84) Union with Christ w/ Kyle Worley (#81) Trading Hustle and Hurry for the Goodness of Limits w/ Dr. Ashley Hales (#76) The Importance of Deuteronomy w/ Dr. Kyong-Jin Lee (#73) The Missionary Heart of the Book of Exodus w/ Dr. W.

Bill Handel talks about why millions of job seekers aren't getting hired in this hot job market. The Supreme Court is faced with a decision - does it love religious liberty more than the death penalty? Scientists are fighting a new source of COVID vaccine misinformation, and his name is Aaron Rodgers. And there's a newspaper that plans to cut back on print with intentions of training its readers to use iPads instead - will it work?

In the November 2021 episode of Discussions with DPIC, Daniel Chen, counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, speaks with DPIC Executive Director Robert Dunham about the Supreme Court case Ramirez v. Collier and death-row prisoners' rights to religious freedom. John Ramirez has challenged Texas' restrictions on audible prayer and physical touch by his spiritual advisor during his execution. Allowing such pastoral comfort in the execution chamber, Chen says, is about “fundamental human dignity.” Chen describes the Becket Fund's involvement in Ramirez and other cases involving the free exercise of religion in the execution chamber, and traces the history of audible prayer and clergy touch during executions. Texas' policy is out of step with historical practices, including its own pre-2019 regulations, Chen explains. Chen and Dunham conclude their discussion exploring the Becket Fund's belief that the fundamental human right to religious liberty must be protected, even “for people who might be different from us, who might have different life circumstances,” including those on death row.

Religious freedom is under attack on multiple fronts, but recently has found success in the Supreme Court. While religious adherents and institutions have prevailed in several recent cases before the Court, those wins have been very narrow. For instance, the Court's decision upholding religious freedom in Masterpiece Cakeshop (2018) did not prevent multiple lawsuits against the same […]
