## Resource

How do we present the very political biblical worldview without doing it in a worldly political way? Do Moses, Joseph, Daniel and company, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther prove that Christians should seek top political positions to influence policy? Does God call us to be on the right or the left of the political aisle? What level of involvement with the governing authorities is appropriate? Today, the guys answer listener questions regarding how Christians should relate to governing authorities as they wrap up the series. Are you okay to have no say? Tune in today to find out, because the best conversations happen, After Class!
