S6E19 - Laying Down the Law (Part 2 of God's Law Series)

Author: Governed by God May 13, 2026 Duration: 9:43

This week is my reading of Part 2 of my Substack series on God's law. In this article, I look at the effect of the law on our hearts, as well as our naturally sinful response to it. I also consider how sin is lawlessness and what conclusions we can draw from that truth.

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.
