3.3 – The Waitress Will Take Your (Executive) Order

May 11, 2017 by Phil Leave a Comment

What are ‘executive orders’? What can and can’t they do, and why are we hearing so much about them? Plus, what does President Trump’s most recent executive order mean to churches and non-profits?

Kevon and Phil talk about this and a whole lot more in this super-sized episode.

1.25 – Basic Civics

September 30, 2016 by Phil Leave a Comment

Phil and Kevon are so sorry that they have been gone for so long. They will be back in the studio soon. Until they do, here’s some audio from a class Phil taught at his church. The class was based upon Tony Evan’s book How Should Christians Votes?, which we’ve mentioned several times before.

We hope you enjoy this “substitute” episode and will help us by spreading the word as The Ignorance of Church and State gears up for Season 2.

We’re also sorry about the audio from this episode. There was an error with the microphone. It was a user error. Phil was the user.

If you have any questions or comments, leave them on the episode page, send us a message on Twitter, or send us an e-mail.

1.13 Order in the Court!

June 3, 2016 by Phil Leave a Comment

Looking for a summer job? The Supreme Court has a vacancy, but it’s not really easy to get an interview.

Do you object to that joke? Trust us: our humor cannot be overruled. As you’ve guessed, it’s time to look at the Supreme Court once again.

Put on your flowing black robes and your replica Justice Ginsberg neckwear because we’re going to court!
