The President's Religious Liberty Commission just delivered its 224-page report, "Americans' First Freedom" — and it calls the separation of church and state a misapplied "myth" that should be replaced with a "bridge" between church and state. Is that a win for religious freedom, or a warning sign?
In this episode, Gio and Joey break down what the report actually says, why the Seventh-day Adventist Church filed formal comments urging the commission to preserve BOTH clauses of the First Amendment, and what 140 years of Adventist history — from the Blair Sunday Bill to A.T. Jones to jailed Sabbath-keepers — teaches us about what happens when church and state join hands. We also dig into the powerful scholarly response from Washington Adventist University's Nicholas Miller and Jonathan Scriven, and why the "wall of separation" was actually built by believers, for the church's sake.
