Can employers force Americans to choose between their job and their faith?

In this hard-hitting episode, attorney Larry Dershem sits down with Cliff Martin, Senior Legal Counsel at First Liberty Institute, to discuss the growing legal battles over religious freedom in America.

As the largest legal organization in the nation dedicated exclusively to defending religious liberty for all Americans, First Liberty Institute has built an extraordinary record—winning over 90% of its cases, including 10 victories at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Martin shares powerful stories from the front lines of these cases, including:

• A Nashville school teacher forced to read classroom material that violated his deeply held religious beliefs

• A high school football coach in Bremerton, Washington, removed from his position for praying on the field after games

• A pastor hit with nearly two dozen criminal charges for feeding and caring for the homeless during freezing winter weather

In each case, First Liberty’s attorneys stepped in to defend the constitutional rights of individuals who believed their faith should not cost them their livelihood—or their freedom.

Join us for a compelling conversation about the state of religious liberty in America, the legal battles shaping its future, and the people fighting to protect the First Amendment for citizens of all faiths.

Does Gen Z have an identity crisis? In this episode, Dr. Wendy Patrick and attorney Larry Dershem sit down with de-transitioner Chloe Cole to examine the cultural, medical, and social forces shaping today’s youth.

Chloe shares her deeply personal story of how, at just 12 years old, she was influenced by online communities, medical professionals, and trusted adults to pursue hormone replacement therapy, testosterone injections, and irreversible “top surgery.” She recounts how physicians, psychologists, school officials, and internet peers reinforced the belief that she was “born in the wrong body”—and how questioning that narrative was discouraged.

Now de-transitioned, Chloe reflects on the long-term consequences of so-called “gender-affirming care” and how she ultimately broke free from what she describes as a powerful and deceptive ideology. This episode raises urgent questions about medical ethics, informed consent, and the responsibility adults have to protect vulnerable children.
