Rabbi Eliyahu Fink returns to the StoryMen to discuss the Supreme Court Decision regarding public prayer. We explore the history of Religious Freedom, how the government and we as individuals should respond, and end by asking what’s at stake in this conversation.
IN THIS EPISODE:
00:00 – Welcome Back, Eli! Let’s talk about Religious Freedom!

The StoryMen tell some jokes, and then dive into a very serious subject: if aliens do exist (of course they do!), are they fallen? Does Jesus' death and resurrection redeem them, too? A fun conversation about exotheology turns to how we think about those who are different from us, and what makes us human.
