Why We Need Societal Taboos with John Daniel Davidson

John Daniel Davidson, senior editor at The Federalist, joins CCV Policy Director David Mahan and Communications Director Mike Andrews on The Narrative this week to break down why a moral society must continue to stigmatize predatory behaviors and how we can prepare to live in and witness to a culture whose Christian foundations are rapidly eroding.

Before the conversation, Mike and David discuss Governor DeWine's call for a special session next week to vote on legislation that would allow President Biden to appear on Ohio's ballot and protect our elections from foreign financial interests. David also shares some of the recent legislation he has been working on to protect kids from the porn industry. To take action on the bills, go to CCV.org/Advocacy.

For further reflection, David mentioned Isaiah 60 and Habakkuk 1. You can read John's mentioned article in The Federalist, "Germany’s Decriminalization Of Child Porn Reminds Us Why We Need Societal Taboos."
