by TAU Roundtable | Apr 28, 2020 | Theology, Things Above Us Roundtable

George Alvarado, Michael Coughlin, and Chuck Ivey discuss what it means to submit to the government or practice civil disobedience. Is there a balance? Does submission to the government mean you’re a statist?

Join us as we answer these questions, and others, on this episode of Roundtable at Things Above Us.
