A question about natural law from a lawyer-lobbyist about Christians embracing natural law provides a foundation for today’s look at the arguments made by Christian legal advocates to SCOTUS in defense of Tennessee’s law prohibiting medical interventions to treat a minor’s gender dysphoria. David explains how their arguments unwittingly embrace a subjective-oriented, relativistic understanding of law, not a Christian one.

Have Christian Legal Advocates Embraced a Subjective, Relativistic View of Law?

Today David provides “gospel grounds” upon which he believes the  imagination of Christians - their vision - for legal and public policy advocacy might be expanded beyond doing politics the way the world does but only better because “we believe in Jesus.” You won’t want to miss what’s in his modernized chapter about a particular glory of Christ in John Owen’s Meditations and Discourses on the Glory of Christ. It just may begin to reshape your vision for politics and law even as it did his a few years ago.

Gospel Grounds for Developing a Christ-Centered Political and Legal Imagination

Re-evaluating the Christian Political and Legal Imagination

Today's episode continues where David's interview with Jason Farley left off last week. The audio picks up with a look at SCOTUSs abortion decisions and flows into a look at the Court’s decision in 2015 about state marriage licensing statutes, Obergefell v. Hodges. It's an eye-opening look at the church's complicity in the culture we have.
