Episode Details

 Ashley Vaughan and Joseph Backholm unpack North Carolina's newly signed state budget and explore what it reveals about the state's priorities. From funding pregnancy resource centers and teacher pay raises to tax cuts, AI in education, religious instruction, and parental rights in schools, they examine some of the budget's biggest highlights through a biblical lens. Along the way, they discuss what makes for wise government spending, where Christians can reasonably disagree, and why budgets are ultimately moral documents that reflect what a society values.
