Still Here: The Johnson Amendment
from The Stephen Mansfield Podcast
We're all familiar with the U.S. tradition of the separation of church and state. But what about the political matters that happen behind closed church doors? Despite recent headlines, the Johnson Amendment (prohibiting non-profits from endorsing political candidates) still remains in the IRS Tax Law.

Above all, Stephen urges religious leaders to refrain from becoming personality cults, and instead use their influence to teach principles and truths that can guide congregations in their political decision-making.LEARN MORE:Website: https://stephenmansfield.tv/Instagram: https://instagram.com/mansfieldwrites/X: https://twitter.com/MansfieldWrites
