A Rabbi and a Reverend walk into a podcast... and talk REAL about religion. We are Rabbi Eric Linder and Reverend Joel Tolbert. We became colleagues and friends in 2012 when we both found ourselves serving congregations near Athens, GA. We were founding members of an area Interfaith group that grew from seven to over sixty clergy. Today, we live in different states but come together here to discuss faith, God, religion, entertainment, and tech. We’ll dive into the social, cultural, political, and topical too. We have quick minds, sharp tongues, and good hearts, and we hope you enjoy being a part of these conversations!

Religious Freedom

Sunday Apr 18, 2021

There are LOTS of Supreme Court cases lately that make decisions about religious freedoms. Where is the line between freedom to practice religion and religion's ability to impose its practices on others? How can we tell if we are protecting our own freedom to practice our religion or asking the government to sanction imposing our religious beliefs and practices on others around us? Eric and Joel push and pull on each other to find the line.
