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.

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.
