0:00.0	Yes, God, God. God In case you hadn't noticed, 49 is near to 50.
0:23.7	So here we are episode 49 in our podcast.
0:28.8	I want to begin by talking about the American and French revolutions.
0:34.0	A lot of our controversies have to do with our relationship as Christians to the civil government and our civil governments are increasingly tyrannical and because our governments are increasingly tyrannical some Christians are talking about where does our duty to resist kick in?
