About this episode
The episode explores Just War Theory from a Christian perspective, examining the moral implications of war through Scripture.
In a world marked by conflict, how should Christians think about war? In this episode, we take a sober look at Just War Theory through the lens of Scripture and a high view of God’s sovereignty. We examine the biblical role of governing authorities, the responsibility to uphold justice, and the moral limits God places on the use of force. Walking through principles like just cause, rightful authority, and proportionality, we aim to think carefully and biblically about when war may be justified—and when it is not. This is not a call to aggression, but to clarity, conviction, and a commitment to honor Christ even in the hardest questions of life in a fallen world.
