Show notes

With election season rapidly heating up, our special guest today has a message for American voters like you who deeply care about their faith informing their politics.

The Founder and President of Christians Engaged, Bunni Pounds, joins First Liberty Live! to talk about how you can navigate this huge election year.

Bunni worked as a political consultant and campaign manager, spent time on Capitol Hill, and even ran for office herself.

Parents Win Against Woke School Mar 07, 2024

Show notes

We have been fighting for several devout Muslim families who fled from war-torn Somalia to America.

Among the most significant reasons why they sought refuge in the United States were religious freedom and educational opportunities for their children.

But when these parents asked to opt their elementary school children out of LGBTQ books in English class, they were met with hostility.

The school district claimed that its curriculum sought “to be inclusive and reflect the diversity” of their students. But apparently its version of “diversity and inclusion” didn’t apply to religious parents.

Thankfully, these parents took a stand against this religious discrimination and won! They are now free to opt their children OUT of this woke content that goes against their religious beliefs.

Hodan Hassan, one of the brave moms, joins First Liberty Live! to discuss the fight with the school district and how the families took back their First Amendment rights.

What Happened to Professor Varkey? Feb 29, 2024

Show notes

Professor Varkey faithfully taught Human Anatomy and Physiology for nearly two decades at St. Philips College.

Then, the college fired him. In his termination letter, the school said they received “numerous complaints” about his “offensive” and “unacceptable religious preaching” in the classroom.

But Dr. Varkey fought back against this wrongful termination and won! Now, he is going back in the fall to continue doing what he loves: teaching science.

In celebration of this major victory, Dr. Varkey joins First Liberty Live! to talk about this fight and why it was a critical win for truth and freedom.

Leaving the Church Defenseless? Feb 23, 2024

Show notes

His Tabernacle Family Church, led by Pastor Micheal Spencer, just got a huge win in court for their first and second amendment rights.

They challenged a New York law that prohibited firearms at places of worship. The hypocrisy of this law was that it allowed most secular establishments, like Home Depot or a local diner, to decide for if patrons can defend themselves. But houses of worship couldn’t.

Pastor Micheal discusses how he not only protected his flock but defended American freedoms by standing strong against New York’s unconstitutional law.

Free to Worship at Last Feb 23, 2024

Show notes

We are happy to announce that White Rock Chapel has just won back the right to restore its sanctuary after they were met with hostility and denied the right to meet.

To celebrate this important victory, property owner Dr. Don Wesson joins First Liberty Live! to share about the vision and future of the church now that they are free to worship at last!

The DA’s Double Standard Feb 09, 2024

Show notes

This week on First Liberty Live! we are talking about how religious discrimination impacts employees of faith in the workplace.

When the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office issued a vaccine mandate, Assistant DA Rachel Spivack requested a religious accommodation. Her Orthodox Jewish faith prohibits her from receiving any vaccines.

The DA’s office denied Rachel’s request and fired her for failing to comply with their mandate. But 11 other staff members were allowed to continue working without being vaccinated.

Attorney Lea Patterson lays out the outrageous details of Rachel’s case and explains how we’re defending her.

Show notes

This week on First Liberty Live! you’ll get to go inside the courtroom for Aaron and Melissa Klein’s argument at the Oregon Court of Appeals.

The Kleins, owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, are seeking justice after the government effectively forced them to close their business for running it according to their faith.

We’re asking the Oregon Court to right their wrong and recognize Aaron and Melissa’s constitutional rights.

Criminally Charged with Compassion Jan 19, 2024

Show notes

This week on First Liberty Live! we talk with Pastor Chris Avell about why he is being criminally charged for opening his church to minister to the underserved people in his town.

The city of Bryan, Ohio says he’s breaking the law because he opened Dad’s Place Church 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to serve his community, including anyone looking for a place to come in out of the cold.

No Ads for You Jan 11, 2024

Show notes

This week on First Liberty Live! we’re talking about why this Washington D.C. metro bus ad was rejected for being “too Christian.”

The organization behind the ad, WallBuilders, seeks to educate people about America’s forgotten history and heroes. The ad this organization created shows our founding father George Washington with the question “Christian?” written across the front. Because of this, it was canceled.

First Liberty’s Jeremy Dys shares the details about Washington D.C.’s outrageous censorship. He explains how this is a seemingly blatant violation of free speech and what we’re doing to stop it.
