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.

Applying Theonomy to Civil Law Rightly Requires the Right Cosmology
Theonomy is predicated on the Triune God but it pertains to a certain cosmology. So, how are Christians to think of theonomy and its application in relation to a legal system the structure and content of which are now divorced from both its history and the cosmology that gave rise to it? David tackles that subject with a new two-part thesis for “applied theonomy.”

Are Some Christian Nationalists “Mucking Up Everything”?
Christians who have been unengaged in politics are now beginning to engage. So, why would the host of one of David’s favorite podcasts suggest many of them are “mucking up everything?” David provides an answer by explaining a key issue period in Medieval Christendom discussed in that podcast and by tying it to a key U.S. Supreme Court decision, and to observations about law by Hale Institute director Jeff Shafer.

Understanding the Pastor/Politician Discipleship Problem
A recent interview of an evangelical pastor disappointed by his friend, Virginia Governor Youngkin, signing a same-sex “marriage” bill into law reveals how Christian discipleship falls short, not just with those wanting to hold office, but often with the pastors and policy organizations supporting them. David explains why what may sound and look good to many people in the pews too often turns out so disappointing.

A Thesis for What Leads to Enactment of Righteous Civil Laws
The floundering of the pro-life movement since Roe v. Wade was reversed provides the context for David asking in today’s episode, “What makes for a Christian community, state, or nation, and where in that process do righteous civil laws come into play?” In answer, David offers for consideration a thesis drawn from a re-examination of the Great Commission in Matthew 28.

How do you disciple a nation in law and politics?
Today, David talks about how discipling a nation (Matthew 28:19) might look different from what is being done today in law and public policy. He uses a statement made on the Tennessee House floor this week by an influential Christian Republican to show what he thinks is missing. He also offers part of a speech he recently gave to a group of Christian lawyers and policy leaders as a way forward.

What Does “Disciple the Nations” Mean for Law and Politics?
God promised “nations” would come from Abraham and Jesus told his disciples to disciple the nations. With that in mind, David uses scripture and some observations from Choc Knox and Jason Farley (Knox Unplugged) to explain how this kind of “nation building” is influencing the focus of his work in law and politics.

Customer Reviews
No mere hot take!
David knows the Word and the law well and hearing him is to hear factual informed observations with objective reality!
Excellent!
Very well done indeed. Criticism is helpful to reflect on today’s problems. Application of writing of Paul is very interesting. Appreciate use of historical evidence to support argument.
Great Podcast
This is exactly what the world, not just Tennesseans, need to hear. I am very proud to be a Tennessean and pray that the Lord uses us to show what the rest of the states what faithfulness to Him is about. Fowler’s treatment of modern day issues and Scripture is spot on and needs to be regularly listened to by all.
