Thank you for joining us for another episode of God, Law, and Liberty with David Fowler,

President of the Family Action Council of Tennessee.

Every week, we are putting culture, politics, and law on a collision

course with the truth of God's Law and Liberty and I think this is going to be, I hope, very helpful to all of you with respect to understanding really what's

going on in the Christian legal advocacy community that really has accepted, I think,

unwittingly, a relativistic view or model of law.

And you may recall last week,

I spoke about the friend of the court brief that was filed by the prestigious ethics and public policy council in Washington, D.C. is filed with the Supreme Court, the United States, and it was in defense of Tennessee's law prohibiting

medical interventions to treat a child's gender dysphoria.

And the more I thought about it this last week, and the more I thought about the briefs filed by explicitly Christian organizations on how the equal protection clause should be interpreted.

The more I realized how little difference there really is

between the EPC's philosophic Enlightenment-based legal argument and that of these other Christian organizations.

And I believe we have a real problem with that because the way Christian organizations think about the law really suffers from the same problem,

the EPPC's Enlightenment brief faces, and that I noted last week.

And what I want to do is to explain today why I think the present course being pursued by Christian legal advocates is so problematic and really

unhelpful in the long run.

And if there's a time explain how common law properly used overcomes those problems.

But knowing myself, we may not get to that latter part, but I do want to get to how common law helps address the problems I talked about last week and I'm gonna be talking about common law

law student. It was really refreshing to see him thinking through

what I was sharing with him about common law and to see all the great

questions that were churning in his mind about how all this works

and what we've lost and I sure hope that happens some on this podcast.
