🎧 Day 69 – Delegated Authority

Series: Spiritual Authority in Christ

Podcast: Daily Prayer with Natanael Costea

Episode Focus

Day 69 explores the nature of delegated authority. Authority in the Kingdom is not self-created; it is granted by Christ and sustained through submission. Believers function representatively, not independently.
