DDD: Resisting Authority: When Saying “No” Is Saying “Yes” to God

from The Washington Defender Podcast · host Brian Noble

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  “Everyone loves the idea of pushing back against authority—but what if your rebellion is actually against God Himself? In this devotional, we’ll explore when resisting government is sin, and when obedience to God demands you stand up and say ‘no.’ If you’ve ever wondered where that line is, you can’t afford to miss this.  In this episode, Pastor Brian Noble, unpacks Romans 13:1–7 and asks a hard question: When you resist authority, are you really resisting God’s design for government? Pastor Brian Noble explains that persistent rebellion against rightful, righteous authority is ultimately rebellion against God. At the same time, he shows from Scripture—like the Hebrew midwives in Exodus and end-times warnings—that when government commands you to do evil, you must obey God rather than man. Using examples from Washington state and biblical stories like Korah’s rebellion, he calls believers to honor God-ordained authority while courageously refusing any command that contradicts God’s Word.  We are transforming our hearts so we can shape the public square.
