The Underground Sessions Podcast returns to a story with major implications at the crossroads of faith, culture, and public policy. In this episode, we revisit the case of First Choice Women’s Resource Center v. Platkin, which was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on December 2. We explore why a small New Jersey nonprofit—known for providing free resources and compassionate support to women and families—found itself facing an aggressive state investigation, and what broader questions this moment raises for nonprofits, churches, and ministries nationwide.
Executive Director Aimee Huber joins us once again to share what it was like to sit inside the Supreme Court chambers as the justices weighed in on the state’s sweeping subpoena. We’re also joined by Caleb Dalton, counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom, who helps unpack the legal stakes, the surprising alliances surrounding the case, and the constitutional principles being tested. Together, they offer a firsthand look at the arguments, the most revealing exchanges with the justices, and the potential paths forward.
Finally, we look ahead. What happens if the Court rules narrowly? What would a broader ruling mean for the freedoms of religious organizations and charitable nonprofits across the country? And how should believers think, pray, and stay engaged as we wait for a decision expected no later than June? This inspiring conversation calls listeners to understand the moment, support those on the front lines, and remain steadfast in hope as First Choice continues its mission to serve women with dignity and care.
