SUMMARY:
This interview with Andrew Linn digs into the historical and theological roots behind religious liberty, the separation of church and state, and America’s Christian foundations through the lens of his documentary, Church and State: Roger Williams and the Founding of Freedom of Religion. The discussion explores how early colonies wrestled with religious authority, why Roger Williams championed freedom of conscience, and how modern culture has redefined freedom itself. Vince and Andrew confront current issues surrounding morality, secularism, cultural Marxism, and the growing silence of Christian voices in public life. Ultimately, the conversation challenges believers to recover courage, biblical conviction, and faithful engagement in both church and culture.
