S5E20 - Parental Rights and Common Law (Interview with David Fowler)

S5E20 - Parental Rights and Common Law (Interview with David Fowler)

Author: Governed by God May 14, 2025 Duration: 47:50

In a follow-up episode from last time, I had the opportunity to chat with David Fowler on the topic of parental rights and responsibilities. David has been a previous guest on the podcast and is a former state senator from Tennessee. He also just recently retired from his position as president of the Family Action Council of Tennessee. Today we cover topics such as child abuse, parental rights, the right to life and limb, and the role of the common law. More specifically, we discuss how many of the current, well-meaning, attempts at protecting the rights of children and parents is a form of compromise with a secular worldview.

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.
