    What Theonomy Gets Wrong: Biblical Justice

    Is God's law relevant for civil governments today? Yes, but not in the way that advocates of theonomy think. In this episode we look at what the Bible authorizes civil governments to do (and what he doesn't). If you find this and haven't listened to our first two episodes in this series, you're missing out!

One of favorite podcast

I am a young husband and father in Texas working striving to faithful at home, in our local church and at work in corporate America. This podcast has been such a blessing to help me think biblically through topics ranging from how to think about missions to how to engage with critical theory that is rampant in the work place. It’s always a joy for me when I see that Sean and Russell are kicking off a new series and always one of the podcasts that I recommend to friends.

Deep and yet approachable

I absolutely love this podcast and have gotten so much out of it!
It is deep, theologically rich, and yet very approachable and not at all intimidating. I feel I could easily share an episode with a new or unbeliever.

Thank you, men! It is difficult “water to tread” with such a unique vocabulary and “sounds good”, partially true semantic. You men have blessed the local church with your research and careful examination and discussion.
