Is Religious Freedom Under Threat? What Australian Christians Need to Know with Patrick Parkinson
In this crucial conversation, Cass sits down with Professor Patrick Parkinson, one of Australia's leading experts on family law and religious freedom, to discuss the rapidly changing legal landscape facing Christians in Australia.
Patrick, author of "Unshaken Allegiance," breaks down complex legal issues into practical wisdom every believer needs to understand. From anti-discrimination laws to hate speech legislation, from Christian schools' hiring rights to workplace challenges—this episode covers it all.
Key Topics Discussed:
- How Australia introduces 140+ laws per year (and why you need to pay attention)
- The real state of religious freedom in Australia vs. other countries like the UK
- What Christians can and cannot say publicly without legal consequences
- The OnlyFans teacher dilemma and anti-discrimination law expansion
- Victoria's controversial conversion therapy laws and prayer regulation
- When civil disobedience is biblically justified
- Practical wisdom: when to speak up, when to stay silent, and when to resist
- The power of "settling quickly" and avoiding unnecessary legal battles
- Why Australia's multicultural future requires protecting religious freedom NOW
Patrick shares eye-opening stories from his time in communist Czechoslovakia, his work with Freedom for Faith, and decades of experience navigating the intersection of faith and law. He offers hope, practical strategies, and biblical wisdom for living faithfully in an increasingly secular society.
Whether you're a church leader, Christian school administrator, business owner, or everyday believer, this episode will equip you to navigate these complex issues with wisdom, grace, and courage.
