Navigating Faith and Politics: Christianity in Public Schools

Welcome to the latest episode of The Gio and Joey Show! In this shorter but insightful episode, Gio and Joey dive deep into the perennial questions facing conservative Christians today: How does faith influence politics, and how do we relate to those with different views? Using Michael Knowles' controversial take on the Ten Commandments in schools as a focal point, our hosts discuss the balance between liberty of conscience and public education, while also critiquing reactionary politics and the potential dangers of enforcing moral order through political power. They explore alternatives like school choice and emphasize the importance of maintaining constitutional values and fostering true revival through grace and compassion.

About the Podcast

Gio & Joey
Talking cultural, political, social issues from a Protestant perspective
This podcast will explore our culture, news and other current events, from a Protestant world view. Too often we don't know how to do that in a secular world. We will talk about how we live out our world view in our day to day lives, how our protestant tradition should inform our interactions with the media, news and events that take place in our lives!
