A Brazilian couple was sentenced to fifty days in prison. The crime? Homeschooling.
According to Dr. Augusto Zimmermann, this kind of legal fiasco is becoming the norm in Brazil. So, this week, we talk about what this unfortunate trend means for you. Will and Augusto discuss the government vs. the family, how legal precedent gets ignored, and what may be coming next. Thank you for listening!

At the intersection of faith, freedom, and government is the question of parental rights. Right now, the Michigan legislature is deciding the future of parenthood in our state. So, this week, Will takes you back to some of the most important Supreme Court cases in our country's history, and we look at how our precious legal framework came together... and we take a look at the bills seeking to change it. Thank you for listening!

This special edition of the Faith and Freedom podcast was recorded live at the International Christian Professors Forum, and it captures exactly why gatherings like this matter. Senator John Crane spent years at the intersection of faith and public life, traveling the world and speaking on what it means to bring a biblical worldview into the public square. At the forum, he found exactly that: leaders from across the globe, sharpening one another not just through lectures but through real conversations over meals, around tables, in the kinds of dialogues that turn good ideas into ongoing momentum. As Senator Crane put it, that's where it gets really exciting, because you begin to find synergy. Three days of fellowship, intellect, and shared mission. This is what it looks like when God's people gather with purpose. Thank you for listening!

Content Warning - This episode addresses the topic of physician-assisted suicide. Listener discretion is advised.
The Supreme Court has never recognized the right to physician-assisted suicide. So, why are there bills in Michigan's legislature right now that are trying to legalize it? This week, Will wades through court precedent and ideological divide to get to the moral heart of the issue, and what it means for our America.

No state ideology can occupy the space that belongs to God. This week, Will welcomes new Faith and Freedom Fellow Joshua Lang to the podcast to talk about the latest news coming from China: the government strictly controls (and alters) scripture to serve party interests. Freedom is never more than a generation away from extinction, and this week, we talk about why it cannot exist where Christianity is fettered. Thank you for listening.

When ideology becomes the rule, truth languishes. This week, William is back to talk about the radicalization in and around American institutions. What differing views of educations led us here? And now that we are here, what does God call us to do? This week, Will makes a case for clarity, truth, and Christian values in an increasingly fragmented world. Thank you for listening.

This week, William breaks down the European Union's Digital Services Act. At first glance, it sounds like a perfect proposal: remove illegal content from the internet. However, what is "illegal" in one nation may well be an unalienable right in another, so today, we talk about how this Act affects you, what precedent could be set, and how God calls us to represent ourselves during uncertain times. Thank you for listening!
