I recently appeared on the Shades of Jade Podcast to discuss my documentary, Church and State: Roger Williams and the Founding of Freedom of Religion, and the important history behind religious liberty in America.
Our conversation explored the life and legacy of Roger Williams, the origins of the separation of church and state, and why freedom of conscience remains relevant in modern discussions about religion and government.
The interview also examined how the historical struggle for religious freedom continues to shape America’s understanding of faith, individual liberty, and the role of civil government.
📜 A Conversation About Origins
On the show, we explored the life of Roger Williams—a man whose ideas about religious liberty helped shape one of the most important principles in American history: freedom of religion. His vision wasn’t just political; it was rooted in a deep belief about conscience, faith, and the role of government.
