Relive childhood playground memories of bullies on the playground as Perry unpacks the ways the institutions of commerce and the state cause trouble when they take over the church's sandbox. Next week discover how to handle the extreme opposition of adversaries.

Would you rather... have a remedy for your ailment described to you or prescribed for you? Well, that's what Romans 13:1 is, a prescription for human government. Since some people are bummers not all governments operate as they should so Perry is here to lay out how they should act in case you were wanting to know. 

"If Government is God's idea why does it seem so bad?" Perry had a way of getting to the heart of the matter, and that is what he does in this interview. The topic of the separation of church and state always had a way of getting him going!

This week you'll find out which phrase said from the pulpit could raise Perry's temperature and what answers congregations thirst for from their leaders.

Perry was a bible teacher and evangelist. He wasn't interested in politics or anything political until well into adulthood when he realized that civil servants needed to hear the gospel as much as anyone else. In this Stand The Gap interview you'll hear that passion for yourself as Perry is asked about the importance of reaching government leaders for Christ and how that impacts the society we live in today.

We lost our friend and leader Perry Gauthier in Dec of 2020. We have compiled interviews Perry did for radio and TV to share with you that show his heart and passion for serving civil servants for Christ. In this interview, you will get a glimpse into the preparation for creating bible studies for the senators he ministered to every week during their session and why he did it with a heart full of joy.

  Have you ever wanted to be a fly on the wall of an intense argument that could determine the fate of those outside the room? In this episode, Pastor Gauthier takes us to Psalm 2, into the conversation that God has with the messenger he has chosen to enact punishment against rebellious political leaders.

Social media is a great place to solicit advice on places to eat, recommendations for plumbers and painters, and the occasional date night idea. But can you imagine what would happen if you asked your "friends" for the best way to punish your son or daughter for lying, cheating, stealing, or a prank that led to another person's death? Are your "friends" armed with the wisdom to know how to punish actions that break down the fabric of society in a way to increase the desire to act morally and responsibly towards others? As we continue our study in the most important paragraph on civil government in the New Testament you will hear how Government serves its people best and what methods they use to do it. 

If you still think the separating of the church from the state means that the church should stay out of influencing the state then this short summary episode of the much longer Episode 020 is for you.

We need superheroes to stop diabolical murderers, scummy drug lords, dirty cops, sex traffickers, and cheating businessmen. If there is no “fear of God” or fear of punishment, criminals think they get unlimited “Get Out of Jail Free” cards. While a Christian is to model personal love and forgiveness in society, the civil government is to punish and avenge criminal evil. God said so...for Him...on earth!
