A Felony to Speak the Truth

Rev. Christopher Thoma talks about Michigan’s hate crime bill that could make speaking the truth in love a felony. He also addresses the church’s need to prepare for hard times, and what pastors can do to prevent persecution before it arrives. Plus, Evangelicals are learning what some Lutherans have forgotten, and the Johnson amendment isn’t as restricting as you might think. Today’s show is about The Body of Christ and the Public Square.  Resources from this episode: Rev.
