As the 2020 presidential elections rapidly approach, many pastors are asking, “what are my rights when it comes to addressing political issues?”

Many believe that political issues and the pulpit may never converge. In a four-minute video, Kelly Shackelford, First Liberty President and CEO, explains why this is simply not the case.

“There are a lot of misconceptions that pastors have about what their rights and freedoms really are,” Shackelford says, adding that many fear legal ramifications if they mention or participate in politics.

“That fear is not coming because of the law, it’s coming from other sources that would try to silence you,” Kelly continues.
