What does it truly mean to live as citizens of God’s Kingdom while navigating human governments?

In this episode, I sit down with Alex Bernardo—host of The Protestant Libertarian Podcast, where he explores the intersection between Protestant biblical studies and libertarian philosophy—to unpack Romans 13:1-7 and its implications for Christians under state authority.

Alex delves into the historical and grammatical context of the passage, exposes how it has been misused to justify oppressive regimes, and challenges us to reconsider our allegiance to worldly powers in light of God’s ultimate sovereignty.

This conversation will help you navigate the delicate balance between obedience to earthly authorities and unwavering faithfulness to the Kingdom of God.

What do we really mean when we say the Bible is our final authority?

Why don't we consult the Bible when learning to hit a golf ball or changing the oil on our car?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ben Witherington III—world-renowned New Testament scholar, author of over 60 books, and the man who’s written a commentary on every New Testament book—to tackle the doctrine of Sola Scriptura: Scripture's Final Authority in the Modern World.

Ben shows us where scripture draws the line—and how culture keeps trying to blur it.

This podcast will clearly define what Sola Scriptural is and isn't.

I will be teaching this to all my kids.
