The Most Misunderstood Verse on Christian Government

About this episode

What does it mean when Isaiah 49:23 calls kings "nursing fathers" to God's people? In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird examine one of the most debated passages in Christian political theology. Looking at Isaiah 49, Numbers 11, and the historic Reformed tradition, they explain why civil rulers are called to protect, nourish, and support the church—not as replacements for Christ or the church's spiritual authority, but as ministers of God for the good of His people.
