S7E35 - Living Your Faith Out Loud: Consecration and Courage in the Face of Culture. With Ken Fish, Casey Harper & Joel Taylor

What does it take to live your faith out loud in a culture that resists it? Ken Fish and Joel Taylor sit down with Casey Harper—D.C. journalist, host of The Outstanding Podcast, managing editor for broadcast at The Washington Stand, and a speaker at the upcoming Luminosity conference (Nashville, Oct 1–3, 2026).

From his vantage point between the White House and the Capitol, Casey shares his journey from small-town East Texas to the front lines of faith and public life. Together the three explore a recovered theology of persecution "for righteousness' sake," why a healthy faith must be able to stand even when the church is weak, the difference between partisanship and faithful engagement in the public square, and how personal consecration builds the fortitude to do the right thing under pressure. It all ties back to the conference theme—consecration and holiness—and Casey's striking word from Joel 3: "consecrate for war," a call to spiritual preparation, not violence.

In this conversation:

• Casey's journey from East Texas to faith and public life in D.C.

• What makes living your faith "out loud" so challenging today

• Recovering a theology of being "persecuted for righteousness' sake"

• Why a mature faith can stand alone—without abandoning community

• Partisanship vs. politics in the public square

• How consecration builds inner fortitude

• "Consecrate for war" (Joel 3)—preparation for the days ahead

• The example of Perpetua and the great cloud of witnesses

• Hope for a generation looking for something real
