In this episode, Mike sits down with Erik Dellenback, the liaison for Governor Ron DeSantis' Faith and Community Initiative. Erik's mission focuses on mobilizing the church to champion society's most vulnerable, including building bridges between the foster care system and faith communities. His impressive career includes serving as President and Executive Director of the Tim Tebow Foundation, where he spearheaded global efforts like “Night to Shine.” With a diverse background in college football and film production, Erik offers a wealth of experience and valuable insights in this conversation.
Together, they delve into the importance of faith in public life and how Erik became a bridge between the Governor’s office and faith communities. He explains how the state needs the church to care for those in need and how the church, in turn, benefits from working with the state to create real pathways of service. The discussion highlights the vital partnership between faith and government in advancing care for the marginalized.
Mike and Erik also dive into a theological understanding of politics, why Christians should be deeply engaged in issues like abortion, and how Amendment 4 threatens human flourishing. Erik makes a compelling case for why believers must stand against this harmful legislation, urging Christians to vote no on Amendment 4. This episode unpacks the importance of political engagement for the church and how faith communities can be a powerful force for good in the public square.
