Beckwith blurs lines between pulpit and politics
State law doesn't require Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith to give up his other full-time job, and he hasn't. Besides, as he puts it, “I don’t think there is much” difference between his state duties and his ministry. “My pastoral hat, I find out what God says about things, and I tell people. As a politician, my job is to find out what God says about things and to tell people." Meanwhile, Beckwith's Statehouse office repeatedly has been dark, its doors locked,* despite Gov. Braun's mandate for state employees to stop working from home.
PASTOR AND POLITICIAN: Lt. Gov. Beckwith says there’s not much difference between his two full-time jobs
