## Resource

Do you believe Christians should control the outcome of political and state decisions? Should Christians fear governing authorities? How do Christians engage and interact with the wider political culture and the powers of the age? Today, the guys engage with some of the most cited passages as they wind down their series on politics and faith, focusing on the Christian's relationship with governing authorities. Tune in to hear how passages like Romans 13:1–5, Matthew 22:15–22, Titus 3:1–5, 1 Peter 2:11, 1 Timothy 2:1–4, and Matthew 10:28 fit into the conversation and inform our ultimate posture.
