Today, we speak to author and associate professor at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Andrew T. Walker about the pope's recent comments on human goodness, Republicans' new IVF protection bill, the theology of the body, and how to balance religious beliefs with human liberty. Where is the line between our desire for furthering biblical truths and maintaining a free society? How does Christian morality intersect with natural law? And what are "Taovangelicals"?
