God, Law & Liberty Podcast Podcast

God, Law, and Liberty is a podcast of the Family Action Council of Tennessee featuring David Fowler. We seek to educate listeners on matters of law and current issues relating to how we understand liberty and the Constitution per a Christian worldview. For years, FACT has been engaged with members of the Tennessee General Assembly in advocating for life, marriage, family values, and religious liberty issues in our state. As a family policy council, we are tackling head-on, current issues that have a national impact such as same-sex marriage, abortion, transgenderism, and other issues related to what we consider God's design for the family. How we address these issues in our culture in terms of how we treat them in law will have an impact for generations to come. Please join us on this journey.

    The Neo-Covenanters: Who They Are and Why Their View of Law and Politics is Gnostic

    Are you part of the neo-Covenantal tradition or the neo-Baptist tradition when it comes to law and politics? Today, David defines these two groups based on 30 years of dealing with Christians in the legal and policy spheres. In this episode, though, he explains why the neo-Covenanters are Gnostics and would have Calvin and Kuyper rolling in their graves.

    What a Gnostic Benthamite Christian Lawyer Looks Like: Me.

    David begins his examination of what he considers the two predominate views among Christians on law and politics, those he calls the neo-Covenanters and neo-Baptists, with how he realized he read the Bible like the legal positivist, Jeremy Bentham, and why reading the Bible that way is gnostic, not Christian. Is being a heretic easier than ever before? The answer may surprise you. Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donate See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Law of Nature Jeremy Bentham and I Overlooked

    Common law authority William Blackstone said that man “must in all points conform to the will of his nature,” and this will was called the “natural law.” Today, David explains how he overlooked the most fundamental law of human nature because he read the Bible like a disciple of legal positivist Jeremy Bentham. From his experience, David offers a proposition about the state of evangelicalism in America.

    The Pursuit of Righteous Laws and the Presidential Election

    Evangelicals of all stripes want to live in a country that has righteous laws or, we might say, law in accord with God’s law. And to that end the debate rages among those voting for Trump because they are evangelicals and those not voting for Harris because they are evangelical. The recent comments of David French and the formation of “Evangelicals for Harris” and the evangelical rejoinder to them quickly come to mind. Today, David launches a short series that talks about the evangel of righteousness that seems to have been lost in the din of politics.

    Have Christian Legal and Policy Advocates “Kept God’s Law”?

    This week David shares four statements by Jonathan Burnside, Professor of Biblical Law at the University of Bristol (England) Law School, about how the Bible presents “Biblical law” that came flooding back to his mind when, last week, he read a conversation God said Jeremiah would have with those of God’s people who did not like his prophecies. Would we, like them, say, “How have we forgotten your law?” Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donate See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    What Do Concerns About Electoral and Legislative Outcomes Say About Us?

    At a recent gathering of political and legal advocates from around the nation, most of whom were Christians, these questions were asked: “What keeps you up at night?” and “What is most urgent to you?” David uses an excerpt from C.S. Lewis’s The Weight of Glory, an excerpt from John Owen’s Christologia, and Hebrews Chapter 4, to provide insight into what the questions and the way they were framed says about our understanding of the Gospel.

    Can Dionysius and Christians Both Sit at the Republican Party’s Table?

    This week’s episode will spring from the relationship between Dionysius’s table depicted at the Olympics and common Christian wisdom about political engagement. David will apply thoughts drawn from observations made by Abraham Kuyper, John Owen, Jeff Shafer, Jason Farley, and the prophet Jeremiah to offer what he thinks should be the first step in a truly Christian response to the Republican Party’s Platform and future political engagement.

    What Political Alternatives Do Christian Have?

    After the events of the last 10 days, some Christian policy organizations are circling back to how Christians should respond to the new Republican Party Platform. Today, David uses Isaiah and John Owen to probe whether observations made by one prominent national organization go deeply enough in explaining how 45 years of work were, in its words, “wiped out in hours.” Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donate See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
