Episode Details

For decades, church leaders have been told they can talk about policy and politics from their pews, but if they dare mention candidates' names -- if they dare endorse any particular candidates -- they better watch out: the IRS could strip them of their tax exemption. So over the years, churches, out of an abundance of caution, have largely stayed away from politics. Well, all that seems about to change. The Johnson Amendment, as the rule is called, is about to be repealed, and church leaders will soon experience a restoration of rights that never should have been stripped in the first place. Dave Kubal, with Intercessors for America, speaks about his legal fight to overturn the Johnson Amendment.
