About this episode

This episode discusses the relationship between Christians and governments, particularly in the context of despotic regimes as outlined in Romans 13:1-7.

Romans 13:1-7 How can this be applied to despotic governments? What is our relationship to governments as members of a heavenly kingdom? Must we always be in subjection to human governments since they are all appointed by God? What actually is our duty to our nation?
