Welcome to real-life ministries and our series Voting Your Values. In the final episode, we discuss the critical importance of freedom of speech and religion. The First Amendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." 1 Peter 3:15 encourages Christians to "Always be prepared to answer everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." The First Commandment, "You shall have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3), underscores the importance of individual faith and the freedom to worship.

Welcome to real-life ministry. In this episode we explore the right to self-defense, this episode examines the Second Amendment: "The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Romans 13:4 supports the role of authority in maintaining order. Jesus' instruction to His disciples to "buy a sword" (Luke 22:36) highlights the implication of being prepared for self-defense in a world where threats may exist. The commandment "You shall not kill" (Exodus 20:13) relates to the moral imperative of protecting life, suggesting that self-defense is a legitimate right when life is threatened.
