Christian Civil Disobedience: Are You Ready to Give Up Your Freedom for Christ and Take a Stand?

In this week’s podcast (free and you don’t need to download), I sat down for a special interview on Christians, government, and civil disobedience with Peter Demos, a lawyer, entrepreneur, and author of On the Duty of Christian Civil Disobedience.

I asked Peter to explain what he means when he tells Christians they could engage in "civil disobedience?”

“Many people think of large protests, like on Martin Luther King Day,” Peter said. “But as we saw during the COVID epidemic when the government closed churches, many Christians and churches quietly complied. As Christ’s ‘ambassadors,’ we should have said ‘no’ and kept the churches open.”

“So Christian Civil Disobedience means standing up for God and what’s right in his eyes,” I said.

“Yes,” Peter said, “but it’s also more. It’s not being afraid to get arrested if necessary. It’s peacefully resisting not only the government, but your employer as well. If you’re asked to do something or support something that goes against God’s laws, you should resist and not comply.”

This is a must-listen interview. Anyone listening to this insightful podcast will want to share it with your family and friends.

Here are just a few of the topics we discuss during the podcast:

· How to become a strong ambassador for God

· How to find the strength to say “no” to what is immoral

· Resist when the government or your employer asks you to commit evil, or when you’re asked to do something against your conscience based on your faith, or when God specifically asks you to do something contrary to the government or your employer

· Why it’s better to fail in life, but succeed in Heaven

· Why we all must be obedient to God

The Interview is about 30 minutes long.
