Eyes on Jesus Podcast S3E29: James Coates, pastor in Canada, and the story of how he was arrested during the pandemic Eyes on Jesus with Drew and Tim

My guest this week is James Coates.  James completed a Master of Divinity at The Master's Seminary in May 2010. Less than two months later, he received a call to pastor GraceLife Church of Edmonton, where he’s pastored ever since. He also went on to complete a Doctor of Ministry in expository preaching. He is married to Erin and together they have two wonderful boys. God vs. Government is the latest book he recently co-authored. 
Some of the issues we talk about:
The role of church in the midst of tyrannical orders from a government
When do you make a stand for truth even if you face terrible consequences
How the church speaks to a culture that has turned away from God
Love and truth among division in the church
