## Resource

Most people never research the judges on their ballot—and that may be one of the biggest mistakes we make as voters. Today I'm joined by Judge Dave Larson for a timely conversation about judicial activism, parental rights, rising crime, and why the courts were never meant to become another political battlefield. We discuss the importance of an independent judiciary, the rule of law, and why every Christian should understand what's happening in our courts before heading to the voting booth.
