Is Submission to the State Bibleworthy? (Romans 13:1-7) - Interview with expert Alex Bernardo

What does it truly mean to live as citizens of God’s Kingdom while navigating human governments?

In this episode, I sit down with Alex Bernardo—host of The Protestant Libertarian Podcast, where he explores the intersection between Protestant biblical studies and libertarian philosophy—to unpack Romans 13:1-7 and its implications for Christians under state authority. 

Alex delves into the historical and grammatical context of the passage, exposes how it has been misused to justify oppressive regimes, and challenges us to reconsider our allegiance to worldly powers in light of God’s ultimate sovereignty.

This conversation will help you navigate the delicate balance between obedience to earthly authorities and unwavering faithfulness to the Kingdom of God.
