Civil Disobedience: A Biblical Approach

Do we obey God or the government? What do we do when the government and God conflict? Is it ever biblical to form a revolution against a tyrannical government? In this video, I am going to be doing my best to present a biblical appraisal of civil disobedience and our responsibility as Christians a post-Christian nation.

This video ended up being way longer than I initially thought, but I didn’t want to break it up into smaller videos because I think it is best viewed in sequence that I am presenting it. If you need to take a break or stop watching, you can always come back and there are time stamps showing the chapters of the video to make that easier.
