In this episode of the Ezra Interviews, Dr. Michael Thiessen interviews Clint Elliott, the Executive Director of the Justice Defense Foundation of Kentucky, discussing critical legal issues surrounding conversion therapy bans, the role of the church in addressing these issues, and the implications for parental rights and women's rights in public spaces. They explore the impact of executive orders in Kentucky, the importance of defining biological sex, and the need for awareness and action within the Christian community to navigate these challenges. In this conversation, Clint and Michael discuss the importance of Christian advocacy in the face of cultural challenges. They introduce the AAA framework—Awareness, Awakening, and Advancement—as a guide for engaging with contemporary issues from a biblical worldview. The discussion highlights the church's need to assume a leadership role in societal matters, the importance of truth in love, and the challenges of self-censorship faced by Christians. They also explore the concept of justice in relation to the second coming of Christ and the importance of building relationships that prioritize truth over comfort.
