Faithful Politics Episode 8 - Fund the Police, fun, fun, fun, Fund the Police?
**note** had a little sound issue in the first 30 - 45 seconds.
This episode of Faithful Politics we are doing a real life show, socially distanced of course, with a friend of the show Phil McKinney. On the show we talk about the call to defund the police, and how conceptually it seems like a good idea, but the messaging and slogan might be a barrier. Pastor Josh also digs a little deeper into how the church can be a force for good during these dark times. Phil offers some fresh perspective to old ideas, and keeps the conversation humorous and light with his quips and hot takes!
