I have seen many appeals to Romans 13:1-6 on social media lately to justify the violence and injustice that we are seeing perpetuated daily from President Trump. In this interview, I'm joined by Dr. Mike Austin to discuss the way this passage has been used as a weapon by evangelical Christians today. I express my concerns more broadly with evangelical support for the MAGA movement, and at the end Dr. Austin mentions some helpful resources.
