Bott Radio Network

The Germantown Baptist Church was the site for a banquet featuring the Alliance Defense Fund on Thursday, February 21st. Nate Kellum, chief legal counsel for ADF’s Regional Service Center for Tennessee, hosts a weekly radio program on Bott Radio Network’s 640 AM, along with Cherrie Holden & Pat McClerkin. Nate was the featured speaker at the Banquet and shared how ADF is countering attacks on Christian values from the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) and PAW (People for the American Way) through our U.S. court system. Jennifer Walker from the Nashville area came to tell her story and of the ADF’s intervention. Jennifer along with a group of moms are in a legal matter with the ACLU over praying for their children, students, and teachers at the elementary school where their children attend. The support from ADF has given Jennifer and the other families the encouragement they need to walk through the court process. Around 400 people attended the event which included Tennessee State Senator Mark Norris. The ADF originally formed in 1994 in response to the urgent need for the legal defense and advocacy of religious freedom. The founders of ADF include the late Dr. Bill Bright, the late Larry Burkett, Dr. James Dobson, the late Dr. D. James Kennedy, and the late Marlin Maddoux. Their prime concern was the dramatic loss of religious freedom in America's courts and the resulting challenges to people of faith to live and proclaim the Gospel.
