S2 E19: The Christian's Posture Toward Civil Government {Worldview Series, Part 8}

God has clearly set the boundaries of human authorities in His Word: civil, church, and family. Do you know what the Bible has to say about the rightful role of government? Listen in on this conversation as Caleb and Lindsey discuss the Bible's teachings concerning how Christians ought to relate to governing authorities and the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates.

This episode, Part 8 on God's Word as our ultimate authority, is a part of an ongoing series on ⁠⁠⁠Building a Thoroughly Christian Worldview⁠⁠⁠. Everyone has a worldview whether they realize it or not, and more than likely their worldview is not consistent with itself. The Bible is our only standard for all of life and truth. We are called to be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2). We can only do this by knowing God's Word. Listen in to this multipart series as Caleb and Lindsey discuss what a worldview is, how to evaluate your worldview for inconsistencies, and also ways to apply God's Word and mission to every area of your life.

As disciples we are meant to have a "Kingdom Mindset." Many Christians today have more of a defeatist mindset and live defensively instead of offensively. The Christian's worldview directly applies to how Christians engage the culture, and this is what we will be discussing in future episodes during this series.
