This week on State of Independence, Joe Watkins speaks with Governor Bill Haslam; a former two-term governor of Tennessee, and before that a city mayor. Governor Haslam led his state on some of the most contentious—even controversial—issues, but even at the center of power, never forgot that his identity and his witness would be shaped by how he responded in moments of challenge. Bill Haslam is—before anything else—a follower of Jesus. They discuss how a Christian leader can bring unity and reconciliation, when the issues being debated in the public square are often questions of ethics and morality. (Original Airdate 4-1-22)
