Government is simply the agency or the institution that God has established to make sure it's running the right way.

This says the church is the right institution to take care of things in the spiritual realm.

Dr. Joel Beerman, author of The Issues, Et cetera, Book of the Month, The Two Realms and the Separation of Church and State.

So the Church and the State are those institutions charged with the oversight of their particular realm,

but the realm is much more expansive than just those two institutions.

Thank you. Hi, I'm Anj.

And this is Girls Gone Bible.

We talk about Jesus in the Bible and mental health and sometimes relationships.

And today we're talking about relationship anxiety.

Come as you are, just don't stay that way.

That's an introduction to a recent Girls Gone Bible podcast hosted by Angela Halili and Ariel Rizma.

They are the subject of a long feature from the free press, the girls who found God in a podcast.

Greetings and welcome to Issues, etc. live on this Wednesday afternoon, October the 22nd.
