Episode 41: Resistance (Mark 6: 14 - 29)

On this episode, Craig and I talk about the need resist in times of oppression, diving into Mark 6: 14-29, and the story of the beheading of John the Baptist. Christians are used to obedience, but there are times where laws and people who lead us are misled - and it's up to us to challenge authority. We talk about the decisions of John the Baptist in challenging Herod's marriage to his brother's wife and Herod's decision to heed to Herodias' desire to have John's head on a platter. Craig shares the story of Oskar Schindler, who challenged authority and saved thousands of Jews' lives; and I talk about Dr. King, who learned from the Hindi leader Mahatma Ghandi, and later resisted authority and created a movement. Whether it be in your home, your relationship, your office, or your country - there are times you need to stand up to authority - you can make a difference in someone's life.
