In this week’s episode of Table Talk, Pastor Dan and Kelsey tackle one of the most misunderstood teachings in Scripture:

👉 What did Jesus actually mean when He said “turn the other cheek”?

From Matthew 5 to Romans 13, the team breaks down the biblical difference between personal responsibility and governmental authority. This isn’t theory — it’s the foundation for understanding justice, mercy, and why chaos reigns when culture blurs the two.

You’ll hear:

Why Jesus’ call to forgiveness doesn’t mean the state should ignore justice.

The biblical role of government (and why God designed checks and balances).

Why socialism, lawlessness, and “cashless bail” all miss the mark.

How the Bible directly shaped America’s three branches of government.

What capital punishment, self-defense, and immigration look like through a Christian worldview.

And the wild story of how telling someone at Taco Bell “Jesus loves you” turned into a powerful teaching moment on evangelism.

This episode’s a deep dive into theology, culture, and truth — all with the humor, conviction, and real talk you’ve come to expect from the Table Talk crew.

Because Jesus didn’t come to abolish the law — He came to fulfill it.
