Civil magistrates are supposed to be ministerial, not messianic. What do we do when government

overreaches and starts trying to be the Savior? What is the Christian response?

Welcome to the Shepu's Faithful Podcast, episode number 177. Truth and Encouragement to Live Gospel Center lives every day.

I'm your host, Lauren Lushak.

Hi, everyone.

Thank you for joining me on the podcast today.

My name is Lauren, and I'm grateful you're here.

This is part two in a government series.

And so if you haven't listened to Part 1, the spheres of government, please listen to that one first because this one will make a lot

more sense, because we're just kind of continuing on the foundation of what God has given authority to

and those spheres of authority. And that's very important when we look at our practical

application. So we're going to talk through a little bit of that today. And I'm going to list a lot of

resources because I'm just one person with a 30 minute, 40 minute podcast. So check out the things

that I link in my show notes at she proves faithful.com slash podcast slash episode 177 if you have more questions

or want to deep dive into this. And we also have the scriptures. So I encourage us all to be

rooted in the scriptures because they are not only a nourishment to our souls, but they are a

complete guide and a lamp to our feet. Even with these topics, it's brilliant.

And that's what we're going to get into today.

A huge thank you to everyone who supports this podcast through Patreon.

Your monthly donations and generosity are such a blessing to me.

And God just really at the most perfect time reminds me that there is a team behind me helping get this podcast out. So

thank you for your emails. Thank you for your support. I'm very, very grateful for you.
