S5E3 - Theocracy and Immigration (Interview with Luke Saint)

S5E3 - Theocracy and Immigration (Interview with Luke Saint)

Author: Governed by God October 2, 2024 Duration: 46:25

On today's episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Luke Saint who works with The Future of Christendom and is the author of The Sound Doctrine of Theocracy. We first discuss the main premise of his book, as well as what it means to be a theocracy and to love God's law. We then move into the topic of immigration, where Luke presents the case that he will be defending in debate at the upcoming Future of Christendom conference.

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.
