This weekend on State of Belief, who is footing the bill for Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal’s trips to church services around his state?  Host Welton Gaddy speaks with journalist Mark Ballard from The Advocate (Baton Rouge) about the controversy heating up down south.  Plus, a look at top-secret religious organization The Fellowship.

And, what does religion have to do with low prices? Professor Bethany Moreton tells Welton about the relationship she discovered between Christian evangelicalism and the world’s largest company.  Her new book is called To Serve God and Wal-Mart: The Making of Christian Free Enterprise.
