About this episode
In this episode, we examine R.J. Rushdoony’s bold challenge to the rising tyranny of statist authority. Prompted by President Carter’s 1980 call for military draft registration including potentially for women Rushdoony reminds Christians that true authority belongs to God alone. Drawing from Scripture and America’s founding principles, he defends the family as God’s first government, condemns statist interventionism, and exposes how modern man, by rejecting responsibility, invites both judgment and slavery.
When the state commands what God forbids, or forbids what God commands, the Christian response must be clear: “We ought to obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29). Tune in to hear how Rushdoony equips the church to resist compromise and reclaim Biblical dominion starting with the question of who truly has the right to command.
