Liberty Talk With Mark Burrell
by Mark Burrell
Liberty Talk explores political and cultural dynamics through a biblical lens. We believe ‘loving your neighbor’ includes safeguarding their religious and civil liberties. Embracing faith means committing our lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to uphold liberty and justice for all. Our mission is to empower citizens worldwide, particularly Christians, to understand their civic duty and embark on their personal faith journeys. America faces challenges due to conflicting Patriot and Progressive worldviews—the former grounded in biblical principles, the latter in secular humanism. This podcast aims to rekindle America’s national identity, rooted in the Bible as articulated in our foundational document, the Declaration of Independence. It illuminates timeless truths behind the Declaration, addresses common objections within the church about political engagement, and sheds new light on current political issues.
