Description:
Have you found it
challenging to navigate religious freedom in the workplace in the
current social climate? Our guest today is Bob Pruitt who is Senior
Counsel, Corporate Affairs Director with
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).
Bob works to educate and equip churches, non-profits, Christian
businesses, and other faith-based organizations regarding their
legal religious rights. The ADF has helped Christians navigate
significant legal issues, even at the level of the Supreme Court
winning 14 cases in the last decade.
Additionally, the ADF
helps churches, para-church organizations, non-profits, and
businesses navigate tax, corporate, and real estate laws.
Unfortunately, many Christian leaders may not be aware of the legal
rights that they possess pertaining to the exercise of religious
freedom. To that end, the ADF provides the necessary resources to
embolden Christian leaders to faithfully live for Christ in their
specific context, not just domestically but internationally
also.
In this episode, you
will hear:
- Specific stories of how religious freedom has been successfully
defended in high-profile cases.
- The rights that exist making it possible to hold Christian
practices in the workplace.
- How to legally conduct faith-based activities in a respectful
and winsome manner.
