An episode of Conversations with Christians Engaged — a podcast dedicated to helping believers continue walking in faith while navigating the muddy ways of politics and culture.
This week, constitutional attorney Keisha Russell of First Liberty Institute joins Conversations with Christians Engaged host Bunni Pounds to discuss her new book on defending religious freedom, Uncommon Courage. Russell shares her journey from teaching special education in Atlanta to becoming one of the nation’s leading defenders of religious liberty. Together, they dive deep into why the First Amendment matters for every believer, how Christians can boldly exercise their rights, and why fear should never keep us from living out our faith in public.
They explore real cases — from Coach Joe Kennedy’s historic win at the U.S. Supreme Court to believers standing firm in schools and workplaces — and unpack the cultural misunderstandings around “separation of church and state.” Russell reminds us that defending freedom isn’t just about courtrooms; it’s about inspiring everyday Christians to know the truth, stand firm, and proclaim the Gospel without fear.
This episode is part of the series “Stories from America — Live from the National Religious Broadcasters Convention,” featuring powerful testimonies from Christian leaders across the nation.
