Preachers, Politics, and a Pivot in Policy | Faith in Culture

Описание: In this episode of Faith & Culture, host Tré Goins-Phillips is joined by Richard Harris, Executive Director of Truth & Liberty, for a discussion on the Johnson Amendment—its origins, its impact on churches, and a major new development from the IRS that could change everything.

Summary of Main Points:

The Johnson Amendment, introduced in 1954 by then-Senator Lyndon Johnson, prohibits 501(c)(3) organizations from endorsing or opposing political candidates.

For decades, it has had an effect on pastors and churches, discouraging political speech from the pulpit due to fears of losing tax-exempt status.

The IRS has now issued new guidance stating that it will not enforce the amendment against churches that speak politically from the pulpit, in good faith, during religious services.

This shift follows a legal case settlement and is seen as a major win for religious free speech.

Harris explains how this opens the door for pastors to boldly speak on moral and political issues without fear—and why that matters for a church that must be “salt and light” in today’s culture.

The conversation also explores the biblical role of the church in shaping society, the dangers of silence, and how Christians can engage politics with both truth and compassion.

📺 Watch to learn how churches can navigate this change—and what it means for faith in the public square.
