Law Meets Gospel

Law Meets Gospel is Josh Tatum’s online effort to inform faith communities about legal and related issues. Josh is an Indianapolis lawyer who works with faith communities, nonprofits, businesses, and individuals across the country on a variety of legal issues. Josh is a lawyer. But he’s not your lawyer. Law Meets Gospel is for informational purposes and is not legal advice or a substitute for legal advice. It does not create an attorney–client relationship.
