The Farmville Baptist Church Podcast

Episode 056 - Special Episode on Religious Freedom - A Conversation with Three Baptist Pastors

It's summertime at the Farmville Baptist Podcast, and we figured that meant it was a good time to host some special topical episodes.  The theme for this summer's special episodes is a core Baptist principle: religious freedom.  An evergreen issue, understanding what Baptists mean when we discuss religious freedom is especially important in a society where religion is impacting public life in many ways, including calls for the adoption of Christian nationalism.
In this first special episode for the summer, Pastor Adam was invited to join Rev. Dr. Todd Blake and Rev. Dr. Martha Kearse on the new podcast for the church Martha pastors, Peakland Baptist Church (peaklandbaptistchurch.org).  Pastor Adam says it was a fun conversation, and we hope that it will help as an introduction to this summer series on religious freedom on the Farmville Baptist Podcast.
Resources mentioned in the episode include the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty (bjconline.org) and the Virginia Baptist Historical Society (baptistheritage.org); check out their websites for more information on Baptist history and current engagement with issues of religious liberty.
