In this episode of *Those Who Trust*, Abigail dives into a challenging but deeply important conversation about authority, obedience, and the posture of a Christ‑centered life. Drawing from **1 Peter 2:13–17** and **Romans 13:1–7**, she explores what it means to honor the leaders God has placed over us — even when we don’t agree with every decision they make.

This episode unpacks:

- Why **all authority comes from God**, not human systems

- How Christians are called to obey laws and leaders as an act of obedience to Christ

- The difference between blind loyalty and biblical submission

- How our honorable lives can silence accusations and point people to Jesus

- Why believers should be **actively involved** in the political process to influence change with wisdom and integrity

Abigail & Matt remind us that honoring authority isn’t about politics — it’s about discipleship. It’s about living in a way that reflects God’s character, respects others, and keeps our conscience clear before Him.

If you’re wrestling with how to navigate faith and government in a complicated world, this conversation will ground you, challenge you, and encourage you to walk in truth with humility and courage.
