Learn More About the Institute for Faith & Freedom

Faith, freedom, and virtue are public goods and they require public expression. Here lies the difference between our approach to the pursuit of personal, political, economic, and religious freedom and the reigning viewpoint in higher education. We believe that these fundamental ideas and pursuits are the only sure foundation for the cultivation of virtue. Knowledge, even when acquired in the classroom, isn’t meant to stay there. It’s meant to cultivate better habits, firmer faith, and better witness in our workplaces, communities, and civic centers. Faith, freedom, and virtue define a flourishing nation, and we must do everything we can to advance them in the next generation of this nation’s leaders.

At the Institute for Faith & Freedom, we view a love for truth and a love for liberty as inseparable allies. Liberty cannot long flourish in the absence of truth, and the truth is not affirmed where liberty is denied. In fact, America’s extraordinary achievement lies in the essential combination of both truth and liberty. Our love for liberty reflects a historic affirmation of truth in our founding documents and in our laws. Consequently, understanding the relationship between God’s truth and our freedom is not merely an academic exercise, but a vital privilege of Christian stewardship.
