About this episode

The episode discusses the relationship between God, governing authorities, and the implications for Christians in politics.

What if the nation you despise most is actually on God's payroll? In this episode of The After Class Podcast, John, Ron, and Sam trace what the Bible really says about God and governing authorities — from Babylon and Assyria to Cyrus the Great — and why the "lesser of two evils" argument might be more sub-Christian than you think. If politics has been messing with your faith, this one's for you! Tune in to today's episode of The After Class Podcast. Because the best conversations happen... after class.
