We've seen all sorts of protests around our country recently, but are any of them biblically justifiable? Are they legal? Are they actually peaceful?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question on whether or not Christians should participate in peaceful protests. We look through the definition of a peaceful (and legal) protest, biblical examples of protests, and questions you should ask yourself before joining in on any kind of protest. We hope this episode will help you think critically through any future decisions around protesting!
