Origami Elephants - July 4, 2014

Religious Freedom isn't a Hobby

Religious Freedom isn\'t a Hobby

Bryne and JR. discuss HBO's THE LEFTOVERS, and then dive into a conversation on Religious Liberty, using anti-vaccine parenting and the Supreme Court's decision on Hobby Lobby.

From Series: "Origami Elephants Season 1"

Origami Elephants celebrates the tension between beauty and certainty. Hosts Bryne Lewis and JR. Forasteros tackle the elephants in the room - the topics we either avoid or fight about. Bryne, JR. and their guests choose instead to investigate the elephants, to let them draw us together rather than divide.
