Last week our nation experienced something we haven’t faced since World War II. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the federal and state governments placed certain restrictions on gatherings, businesses, and institutions limiting social interaction on a broad scale. The resulting panic left empty grocery shelves, abandoned school rooms, and a stock market crash rivaling Black Monday in 1929.

Questions inevitably arise during a situation like this-such as, Does the government have the right to demand these closures? Are they infringing on our first amendment rights? What are the moral implications of these restrictions and are we witnessing the beginning of a government takeover whereby all institutions and business are regulated by federal laws, or a semi-Socialist state?

The guest on this program, Jeremy Dys, attorney with First Liberty, helps us to practically and biblically understand how to respond in a time like this.
