Can you be spiritual without formal religion like Christianity? The number of people in the U.S. who would say they're "spiritual, but not religious" is growing rapidly. Belief in God is being replaced by experiences with nature, psychic readings, tarot cards, spirit quests and more. What does the Bible have to say about spirituality apart from the gospel?

Are Christians allowed to pray in public spaces? Can a public school football coach pray with his team at the game? Can Christian symbols be displayed on state property? If a Christian group gathers in a public park and they're asked to leave, is that legal?
It's a Supreme Court case round-up as we explore religious liberty decisions from the last year and discuss what it looks like to balance our rights as citizens of the United States with our citizenship in God's Kingdom.
Culture through the lens of the Bible
Culture is constantly changing. What was once a standard of behavior or morality can be quickly discarded as new points of view and policy takes their place. For Christians, the Bible provides a firm foundation, timeless in its principles but always capable of applying to the times in which we live. This podcast seeks to help us view the ever-changing challenges of culture through the lens of the Bible.
