S4E18: Look What Got Filed with SCOTUS!

Author: David Fowler August 22, 2025 Duration: 14:21

Certain aspects of the Christian view of law found in Romans 7:14 were broached in two briefs filed with the United States Supreme Court!

David Fowler brings a unique perspective to the God, Law & Liberty Podcast, shaped by his career as a licensed attorney and a dozen years serving in the Tennessee Senate. Having recently concluded his tenure as president of the Family Action Council of Tennessee, Fowler draws from deep practical experience in both legal frameworks and legislative battles. This isn't a theoretical discussion; it's a grounded examination of how foundational principles actually function-or fail to function-in the public square. Listeners will hear careful analysis of current events, legal precedents, and policy debates, all filtered through a commitment to constitutional fidelity and a Christian worldview. Fowler, also the author of works like *The Politics of Loving God* and *Recovering the Constitution*, doesn't shy away from contentious topics, instead offering reasoned arguments meant to equip people for thoughtful engagement. Each episode aims to connect the dots between divine truth, the rule of law, and the practical liberties we exercise daily. The conversation is built for those who want to move beyond soundbites and understand the deeper currents shaping our culture and our rights. It’s a podcast dedicated to the idea that faith and freedom are inextricably linked, and that preserving liberty requires both wisdom and courage.
