We have questions about...capital punishment. Join us for this week's continued conversation about the whole life ethic, and specifically as it relates to capital punishment. Listen in as we share how our perspectives developed and changed over the years. We also talk about ideas for potential bridge-building conversations with those who may think differently on this issue.
We'd love to hear from you:
What does it look like to frame the capital punishment issue through biblical principles, instead of partisan politics?
You can continue the conversation with Ana and Becky at wehavequestionspod@gmail.com
