Is the United States a Christian nation? We keep seeing the myth repeated – including by our government leaders. But, it’s not in the founding documents. Last week, we re-released a #podcast episode on this exact question. Rev. Dr. Bill Leonard had wisdom from a church history perspective.

As our Spring 2026 interns conclude their time with BJC, we’re reminded that the work of faith freedom is carried forward by courageous leaders like Aaron, Michelle, and Seth. We’re grateful for their time with us, and hopeful for the ways they’ll continue to shape religious freedom for ALL!

Is separation of church and state in the Constitution? This week, a member of President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission called it the “biggest lie." That’s ridiculous. In this clip from the Respecting Religion #podcast, @amandatylerbjc.bsky.social discusses how to respond.

A Baptism assembly line. Calls for political violence. Worship songs. Conspiracy theories. The ReAwaken America tour merged all these into one hodgepodge movement that was infused with Christian nationalism.

A 2022 Supreme Court decision continues to sow confusion and misguided claims. On the #podcast, we’re revisiting our conversation on Kennedy v. Bremerton, where the Court ruled for a coach and abandoned protections for the religious freedom rights of *students.*

Christian nationalism is about power and control. Christianity is about love, humility, and following Jesus. They are not the same. Confusing them harms our faith, threatens religious liberty, and diminishes our democracy.
