S3E24 – Modern Spiritual Warfare

S3E24 – Modern Spiritual Warfare

Author: Governed by God July 26, 2023 Duration: 41:22
This week, I finish the series on idolatry and the demonic by looking at our modern context. Secularism, at its root, is a modern form of paganism. The idea that there is no God, there is no meaning, and we are all just little autonomous gods running around is simply paganism repackaged. These ideas have possessed our culture today, similar to other cultures in the past. But there is a solution. So please join me today as I end this season of the podcast looking at a very important, and relevant, topic. As always, if you have any law/government related questions, feel free to email me at thegbgpodcast@gmail.com, and I will be happy to address them on the program. Thank you and God bless!

How should a person of faith understand the world of laws, politics, and civic duty? Governed by God explores that very question, offering a thoughtful and scripture-based examination of civil government and our role within it. This isn't about partisan politics, but rather a foundational look at how biblical principles intersect with the structures of human authority. Each episode digs into topics of law and civics, seeking to frame contemporary issues through a timeless lens. The host welcomes engagement, often addressing listener questions directly in the show, which adds a personal and practical dimension to the discussions. If you've ever wondered how your spiritual convictions inform your view of citizenship, justice, or societal order, this podcast provides a space for that exploration. Tune in for conversations that are both intellectually grounded and deeply rooted in Christian thought, challenging you to consider the intersection of divine truth and human governance.
