Submit or Resist? View from the Mount

In Romans 13, Paul stated that Christians are to bow to governing authorities. We also see many examples of God’s people refusing to comply when the governing authorities were in violation of God’s authority. As our government grapples with a pandemic, many of the measures they’ve put in place have restricted personal liberty. As the church today, how do we know when to submit and when to stand up and say “no”? And can our answer be defended scripturally? Matt and Jason wrestle with these questions and others in this week’s episode.
