The events of January 6 are still fresh on our mind, and 2020’s Antifa and BLM riots are fading from memory for most of us. This, then is the perfect time to bring out this Worldview Wednesday episode from the archives for your auditory enjoyment and edification. In it, Joel and Pastor Raef discuss the Christian view of civil government, and when (or if) it is ever appropriate for Christians to resist, oppose or rebel against that government.

Specifically, you’ll learn about…

  • A biblical view of civil government, its role, and whether insurrection is ever right.

  • What the Bible has to say about rebellion and revolution.

  • How believers should really think about Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who forwarded a plot to kill Adolf Hitler.

  • Much more. You don’t want to miss this.
