Please note: This Panel Session, hosted by the Georgia Republican Assembly, is a ticketed event and requires registration (see link below), even if you have registered for the Faith and Medicine Conference. The modest cost covers food and refreshments.
With the increasing threats of woke pseudo-Science and civil government intrusions that deny creation and God’s design for the human body, how ought a Christian to think and respond?
How do you live for truth in a culture rebelling against God’s reality and dominated by lies and corruption?
“What saith the Scripture?”
The panelists include noted lecturers and authors who will address the Christian’s view of health and ethics in healthcare. This session seeks to provide practical ideas for protecting your family family and promoting just policy between the civil government and the healthcare industry. We
will address the science and ethics in conflict over new policies being pushed for euthanasia, vaccine mandates, lockdowns, transgender changes, and more.
