The Unanticipated Advocate: Tracing William Murray's Path to Fighting for Religious Freedom

We're thrilled to bring you an episode unlike any other. This time, we're joined by William Murray, a man who took a leap from being the face of a famous legal battle against school prayer to becoming an outspoken advocate for religious freedom. His story is a heady mix of politics and personal transformation, touching on everything from the volatile 1960s American culture to his mother's radical mission, before pivoting to his own spiritual journey in the 90s. Hear him recount the establishment of the first commercial Bible publishing company in the Soviet Union and his ongoing fight for religious freedom, particularly focusing on the persecution of Christians in places like Nigeria. 

As we traverse this gripping narrative, we also take a deeper dive into the intricate interplay of religion and politics in America. Historical events like the Treaty of Tripoli and the incredible impact of the 1947 Supreme Court decision on church and state separation form the backdrop of our conversation. But it doesn't stop there. We discuss the urgent need to reintroduce God into our institutions, particularly education, and the role a Christ-centered education plays in shaping future generations. This episode is an honest and thought-provoking probe into how America can reclaim its faith and continue to promote religious freedom worldwide.
