That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show with your host, Eric Metaxus.

Welcome to the Eric Metaxus folks.

I'm sorry, but I'm Eric Mattaxas, and this is the show.

This is it.

This is the best we could do on short notice.

But the good news is I have an exciting guest. My dear friend from Lynchburg, Virginia, can it be Ryan Healthenbine? Welcome. It is. And it's great to be here, Eric. Now, what is your title? Because I don't want to screw this up. Yeah. So I'm senior vice president of Communications at Liberty and the executive director of the Standing for Freedom Center or Freedom Center.

The Standing for Freedom Center.

So that's what I was looking for.

The executive director of the Freedom Center at Liberty University, I have the honor of being a fellow of the Freedom Center.

Tell my audience, just because I'm proud of you and proud to be part of the Freedom Center, tell my audience, what is the Freedom Center?

Well, essentially, it goes back to the ethos and the vision of our founder at Liberty University

1971, Dr. Jerry Falwell, Sr., who was always at the forefront of preaching

the gospel, but he was also a brawler in many ways. And I mean that in a good way. I mean, he's a

courageous pastor, fighting on the front lines of cultural issues. He was always engaged in the public

square. Well, we need to be really clear because he really was the pioneer.

Yep.

When we talk about, I mean, a lot of people say, oh, I don't like the moral majority or another religious right.

The fact of the matter is that it is 100% correct to live your faith out in the public sphere, in the world of politics, in the culture.

There are going to be many people who don't like that.
