Congressman Mark Harris has spent decades as a pastor — but today he’s also serving on Capitol Hill. In this conversation with Billy Hallowell, Mr. Harris shares the remarkable journey that took him from the pulpit to Congress, explains why he believes Christians shouldn’t retreat from public life, and responds to one of America’s biggest debates: Does faith belong in government?
Mr. Harris also discusses the true meaning of the First Amendment, why the phrase “separation of church and state” is often misunderstood, what life as a pastor in Congress is really like, and why he’s optimistic about a new generation of young Americans embracing faith.
