In today’s episode, Becket talks with 19-year-old Jacob Kersey, the police officer in Georgia who resigned because of a Facebook post he made stating that, “God designed marriage. Marriage refers to Christ and the Church. That’s why there’s no such thing as homosexual marriage.” He was effectively forced to resign from his job after being told he could be terminated for posting his religious beliefs on social media. He shares the full story and his lawyer talks about next steps.
