On the show we talk about the call to defund the police, and how conceptually it seems like a good idea, but the messaging and slogan might be a barrier. Pastor Josh also digs a little deeper into how the church can be a force for good during these dark times. Phil offers some fresh perspective to old ideas, and keeps the conversation humorous and light with his quips and hot takes! Sources referenced on the podcast:Black Lives Matter: https://blacklivesmatter.comJames Forman, Jr.: https://www.jamesformanjr.comCompeting bills in Congress: https://www.politico.com/newsletters/huddle/2020/06/12/congresss-competing-police-reform-bills-489510H.R.35 - Emmett Till Antilynching Act - https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/35/textFor more information about the podcasts or our hosts, please visit our website @ www.FaithfulPoliticsPodcast.com.
