Summary

Despite the pandemic, millions of Americans are still planning on seeing their families in person this Thanksgiving. At a time of increased isolation and social unrest, spending time with loved ones is exactly what many people need right now. Even so, tiny tyrants in the government are trying to impose draconian COVID-19 restrictions, effectively removing freedom of choice. When it comes to what you should do, trust yourself and God, not the government. -- Today's Sponsor Sleep better with Boll & Branch's pure, organic cotton sheets.

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to relatable happy Wednesday. Hope everyone has had a great week so far.
0:14.5	Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I don't know what your plans are. You might live in a state
0:19.4	in an area where your where your governor or your local official is telling you that they're
0:24.3	going to sick the cops on you. If you do the scandalous, the scandalous illicit thing of gathering
0:33.2	with your family for Thanksgiving and enjoying fellowship or maybe you live in a state where
0:39.6	there aren't as many regulations and you're looking forward to that gathering. There's been a lot
0:44.4	of back and forth on this. We talked a little bit on Monday. I do recommend going to listen to Monday's
0:49.4	episode because we talked a little bit about what we talked a lot about what it looks like to
0:54.5	live under God's authority above any other authority. That doesn't mean that we subvert the
1:00.1	leadership here on earth just because we want to. Romans 13 is clear about that. But when any kind
1:06.5	of edict or earthly authority causes us to sin, then that is when we choose to obey a God rather

1:25.5	does. You love your kid coming home from college better than the state does. You know they're mental
1:32.0	and their physical needs and I promised you you are more resistant to harming them or putting them
1:38.4	in harm's way than the state is. So you can trust yourself. You can trust your family to decide
1:44.3	what is best in gathering. Is it that you have a smaller crowd come over? Is it that you use? I don't
1:51.0	know. Disposable cutlery and plates. Is it that you you know distance everyone while you're eating
1:59.4	or maybe you don't feel like it's important to do any of those precautions whatsoever. I think
2:04.6	it's up to you and your family. The fact of the matter is that you know better what is best for you
2:10.2	and your family. That is my basic political philosophy that is certainly my philosophy when it
2:16.0	comes to gathering for Thanksgiving. It's not that the virus isn't serious. It's not that you
