Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast

In this episode, we talk about a recent incident where anti‑ICE protesters actually interrupted a worship service, calling it an act of “social justice.” We break down whether actions like that are really protected as free speech, and we look at how the idea of biblical justice compares with what’s often called social justice today.

We also dive into the ongoing debate around gender definitions—specifically why some female Supreme Court justices have avoided defining the word woman, and what that means for protecting women’s privacy, safety, and fairness in places like locker rooms and sports.

As Christians, how should we respond to this complex situation?

In this episode, we explore these challenging questions and consider what Scripture teaches about justice, authority, and compassion in a polarized world.
