Episode notes

In this powerful episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, we sit down with Keisha Toni Russell, constitutional attorney at First Liberty Institute, to explore the increasing challenges Christians face in today's cultural and legal landscape.

Keisha shares riveting stories from her work defending religious freedom, like a teacher placed on leave for displaying a crucifix, and Navy SEALs who fought back against religious discrimination. She unpacks why Christian beliefs are under attack and how foundational biblical principles still uphold our freedoms today.

We also discuss Keisha’s new book, Uncommon Courage: Defending Truth and Freedom While There’s Still Time, where she equips parents with the tools to raise children who understand their constitutional and spiritual heritage.

👉 Don’t miss this eye-opening conversation about courage, conviction, and the power of truth in shaping the next generation.
