This week, we explore the dangerous connections between politics, religion, and power throughout history. This episode examines the perilous pursuit of a theocratic form of government, revealing its inherent troubles and the persecution it has wrought throughout history. From the early church to the Reformation to modern-day conflicts, we uncover the devastating consequences of using political means to enforce religious agendas. Join us as we discuss why principles like individual soul liberty and the separation of church and state, central to Baptist distinctives, hold crucial significance for both our faith and society.
