Episode notes
Paul’s comments in Romans 13:1-7 are often used by Christians who support the current political leadership to remind everyone that we must obey our governing authorities. It is much harder to discuss this verse when we disagree with the party in power. But what does this verse say about local government or about policing? How can we understand this verse within the broader biblical context? Come join this challenging conversation as we walk through a political and theological minefield searching for a biblically faithful interpretation.
