Listen "Stop Using Romans 13 as a Bludgeon"
Episode Synopsis
Too often, Romans 13:1-2 is used as a bludgeon to coerce people into meekly giving in to the current political regime and gaslighting their appropriate Spirit-led responses to the politics du jour. I've grown up enough to recognize it as outright spiritual abuse. And I've never heard it preached anytime other than during trying political seasons. That needs to stop.
