Do our actions reflect the principles we publicly profess?

from The Arrogant Independent · host Shawn Havens

In this episode, I take a thoughtful look at Mike Pence’s book, What Conservatives Believe: Rediscovering the Conservative Conscience, and ask an important question:Do our actions reflect the principles we publicly profess?The discussion explores the relationship between:• Faith and biblical justice• Constitutional rights and individual liberty• Religious freedom and human dignity• Family, fatherhood, and personal responsibility• Accountability for those entrusted with public leadershipI also share my own perspective on why these principles matter to me as a veteran and a father, and why I believe justice, truth, and equal protection under the law should apply to every American—not only in theory, but in practice.This is not a discussion about politics alone. It is a conversation about conscience.If we believe that our rights come from God, that every person possesses inherent dignity, and that justice should be applied equally, then those principles should remain constant—even when they are difficult to uphold.I invite you to listen with an open mind and decide for yourself.What responsibilities do leaders—and all of us—have to defend truth, liberty, and justice?#MikePence #WhatConservativesBelieve #FaithAndFreedom #Constitution #ReligiousLiberty #Justice #Veterans #BiblicalJustice #ConservativeConscience #RuleOfLaw #Leadership #Podcast
