Ep 2114: Bold Faith in a Hostile Culture

Ever feel like living out your faith at work is getting harder by the day? You’re not imagining it. From court battles to cultural pushback, Christians are navigating a world that doesn’t always welcome biblical truth.

That’s why Jim and Martha Brangenberg brought back one of their favorite guests—attorney David Gibbs III of the National Center for Life and Liberty. David mixes sharp legal insight with plenty of humor (yes, even lawyer jokes!) to help us see what’s really happening in the legal system and how believers can stand strong.

In this conversation you’ll hear about:

Why justice in America can feel like a “hurry up and wait” game

How cultural respect for churches has flipped to suspicion—and what that means for ministries and businesses

The dangerous lie of “quality of life” that threatens how society values human dignity

Why bold, everyday faith at work matters more than ever

NCLL's motto for life and business: If it’s wrong, fight it. If it’s right, fight for it.

But this isn’t just about the problems—it’s about what you can do. David reminds us that Christian business leaders, pastors, and employees alike need to:

Get good information before making decisions

Stand up for what’s right, even if it costs

Lead by example in everyday work and relationships

Live their faith out loud instead of hiding in fear

David’s final advice to listeners? Be yourself. Live your faith wherever you are—whether you’re in business, ministry, or everyday life—and let Jesus shine through you. That’s the kind of leadership and legacy that lasts.
