    Faith and Freedom: Timothy Head

    “Freedom regards religion as the companion in all its battles and all its triumphs as the very cradle of its infancy and the source of all its claims…. because religion alone is the safeguard of morality, and morality is the best and surest pledge for the survival of freedom.” – Alexis de Tocqueville Timothy Head is the executive director for the Faith & Freedom Coalition. The Faith & Freedom Coalition is committed to educating, equipping, and mobilizing people of faith and like-minded individuals to be effective citizens. Our conversation is all about how to have hard conversations in the public sphere using your faith.
