S3E2 – The Common Law

S3E2 – The Common Law

Author: Governed by God September 21, 2022 Duration: 35:56
Today I interview David Fowler, president of the Family Action Council of Tennessee, on the topic of the common law. What is the common law and how does it differentiate from other types of law? Also, what is the role of judges and how have courts today deviated from their assigned roles? We tackle these topics, and more, on today's episode. 00:46 - Interview with David Fowler on the common law. As always, if you have any law/government related questions, feel free to email me at thegbgpodcast@gmail.com, and I will be happy to address them on the program. Thank you and God bless!

How should a person of faith understand the world of laws, politics, and civic duty? Governed by God explores that very question, offering a thoughtful and scripture-based examination of civil government and our role within it. This isn't about partisan politics, but rather a foundational look at how biblical principles intersect with the structures of human authority. Each episode digs into topics of law and civics, seeking to frame contemporary issues through a timeless lens. The host welcomes engagement, often addressing listener questions directly in the show, which adds a personal and practical dimension to the discussions. If you've ever wondered how your spiritual convictions inform your view of citizenship, justice, or societal order, this podcast provides a space for that exploration. Tune in for conversations that are both intellectually grounded and deeply rooted in Christian thought, challenging you to consider the intersection of divine truth and human governance.
