What the Bible Teaches About Civil Government w/ Pastor Levi Secord

In this episode of Ezra Interviews, Dr. Michael Thiessen sits down with Pastor Levi Secord to discuss Levi’s book, Servant Not Savior: An Introduction to the Bible’s Teaching About Civil Government. Together they explore what Scripture teaches about the role and limits of civil government, the importance of sphere sovereignty, the dangers of statism, and why Christians must reject both political retreatism and the false hope that the state can save us. The conversation also touches on the current cultural and political tensions in Minnesota, the church’s responsibility to disciple believers in every area of life, and why pastors can no longer afford to avoid questions of politics and public theology.
