## Resource

On this episode of CrossPolitic, Gabe welcomes Dr. Richard Eggleston and attorney Todd Richardson from Clarkston, Washington into the studio to talk about the ongoing legal battle over a doctor's First Amendment right to speak freely on COVID-19. They discuss why the Washington Medical Commission's attempt to silence a retired physician for writing opinion columns in a local newspaper has now landed at the doorstep of the United States Supreme Court  with NBA Hall of Famer John Stockton as a co-plaintiff and the fundamental right of every American to hear the truth from their doctor hanging in the balance. ABOUT CROSSPOLITIC CrossPolitic exists to put Jesus over Politics and reclaim the public square through bold, joyful, biblically grounded media. We confront the chaos discipling America and build the next generation of Christian media infrastructure. Our mission is simple: all of Christ for all of media for all of America. Mainstream media is collapsing. Eighty-seven percent of journalists identify as progressive, and even many conservative outlets prioritize profit over principle. Meanwhile, billions of hours of digital content are discipling the world every day. CrossPolitic stands in that gap, producing courageous, entertaining, truth-filled media for households, churches, and leaders across the nation.
