In this episode of Faithful Witness, Terrance Carroll examines the crisis through the lens of Christian just war theory.What does it actually mean to call a war “just”? Is war ever morally permissible? And how should Christians respond when the state authorizes violence in our name?Terrance explores:• The biblical and theological roots of just war theory• Why war must be a last resort• The importance of legitimate authority and right intention• Protecting non-combatants• Why post-war justice matters• The tension between pacifism and militarismThis is not a checklist exercise.
