E126: Take A Knee [One Man's Story of Courageous Faith]-- Joe Kennedy

from Room for Lovely · host Erin Cuccio

About JoeSchool officials at Bremerton High School (BHS) suspended—and later fired—football coach Joe Kennedy because he prayed a brief, quiet prayer after football games. A lawsuit was filed against the school district, arguing that banning coaches from quietly praying, just because they can be seen by the public, is wrong and violates the Constitution. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, and then the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, sided with the school district. The case eventually landed in the U.S. Supreme Court. In January 2022, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Coach Joe, and he now tells his story as he advocates for religious freedom. Connect with JoeWebsite:https://coachjoekennedy.com/Book:Average Joe: One Man's Faith and the Fight to Change A NationSocial Media:IG: @coachjoekennedyFB: Coach Joe KennedyFinally, be sure to SUBSCRIBE to the podcast and SHARE!  Make sure you don't miss a thing by subscribing on your favorite podcast platform and share so that all your friends can find us too! Connect with ErinIG @erincucciowww.erincuccio.comOrder Any of Erin's Books  HERE
