Summary

Religious freedom is under attack in Minnesota. The general counsel of True North Legal, Renee Carlson, joins host Joseph Backholm to tell her story of how she and many others protected and reestablished religious freedom in Minnesota. The Minnesotan government is currently in complete control by the democratic party. Renee and colleagues noticed that the freedom of religion was essentially removed in recent MN state legislation. This change in legislation would not have only affected Christians, but Muslims, Jews, Mormons, and all other religions. By the grace of God, the freedom of religion was reestablished, but Renee warns everyone of faith to stay vigilant as this civil right is under attack. Listen now to hear her story and what are the biggest threats against people of faith!
