Discovery Fellowship Church Episode 120

Romans 13 tells us to submit to governing authorities—but does that mean blind obedience? What happens when a government is corrupt, unjust, or asks us to do something against our faith?

In this episode, Pastors Nathan and Matt explore:

  • Biblical examples of civil disobedience (Daniel, Shadrach/Meshach/Abednego, the apostles in Acts).
  • Where submission ends and resistance begins—the difference between unjust policies and sinful commands.
  • How modern Christians should engage with government, laws, and social change.

Can we be faithful Christians and challenge authority? Let’s talk about it.
