Welcome back to another Theology Applied episode. I am your host, Pastor Joel Webbin with

Right Response Ministries. In this episode, I am welcoming the CEO of Armored Republic, Mr. David Rees.

He's also a local pastor. We're talking about civic covenanting, ecclesiastical covenanting,

basically to break it down, we get very practical. Theological terms will be included,

but so will definitions and

explanations and practical marching orders, applications, takeaways, things that we can do,

the average Christian on the ground. But basically, this is it. We want a theological maximalism

and unity. And not just unity of common care. Hey, we disagree, but we still love each other. No,

a unity of common conviction. We're united, not just because we tolerate one another in the midst

of disagreement, but we're united because we're actually achieving the knowledge of the faith,

the knowledge, the same knowledge of the Son of God.

And Ephesians for unity of common conviction, unity of knowledge, not just a unity of common

care, but a unity of common conviction. So a lot of what evangelicalism has done over the last

50 years and even longer is a theological minimalism, lowering the bar doctrinally,

as low as we can get, because, well, doctrine divides, and we need to be united,

and the only way to be united is to stop caring about truth, or to care about a lot less

truth. But is there a way from the scripture? Does God give us a method,

a strategy for being united and not lowering the bar theologically? I think there is. Mr. Reese

thinks there is. And that's what we're going to lay out for you today. Applying God's word to

every aspect of life.

This is Theology Applied.

All right, welcome to another episode of Theology Applied.
