Ep. 39 - Who‘s in Charge - Church or State? - Dr. Joseph Boot

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Joseph Boot, the founder and president of the Ezra Institute located in Grimsby, ON. Dr. Boot has been very vocal in the Reformed world, on the topic government and their jurisdiction when it comes to church, health and the family.  We speak about the controversial vaccine mandates, the church's response (or lack of response) to all these issues and briefly touch on Bill C-4. Even if you disagree, we hope this conversation helps you to think deeply about these issues that are affecting us all in some way.
