Our CLC director of Public Policy, John Litzler, describes advocacy in this way: "An appeal to those who are in a position for power, influence, or the ability to create change, so get them to pay attention to what is important to you." In what ways is Christian advocacy different from this?
In this episode, the team discusses advocacy from a biblical perspective. We ask what makes Christian advocacy different and what examples we find in scripture of advocacy. We also discuss examples we have seen of Christian advocacy and how they have encouraged and inspired us. Our director of Public Policy, John Litzler, leads this discussion.
