We're made to look passive, dissociated, and defeated. If we're not pot-bellied beer drinkers or egoistic morons, no one wants to watch the broadcast. What happened to John Wayne, Matt Dillon, and G.I. Joe? Men who knew their strengths, understood their roles, believed in hard-nosed Christian values.

It's time for us to go back to the very beginning and dissect exactly who we are as men.

Developing the Puritans' understanding of religious freedom, Jesse Johnson shows how Christ's followers have reasoned through this tension in past centuries, and he identifies biblical principles for navigating government restrictions in the future. Johnson reminds his listeners that God made government with a purpose, and that purpose makes the world livable for believers. So sit back, and let Johnson take you on a tour of what the Bible teaches about government, and why we should be more like Daniel, by recognizing the limits on our obedience to earthly authorities.

Time is of the essence. It’s important for us to capitalize on the time we’ve been permitted to walk in. We were fashioned by the hands of an Almighty God with purpose. He didn’t create us to live in a stagnated place of remorse, but to thrive as citizens of his kingdom.

"A man is literally what he thinks."
