Korah’s Rebellion, Church Leadership & Romans 13: When to Obey God Over Man

In this powerful episode, we trace the line between rebellion and righteousness—starting with Korah’s challenge to Moses and Aaron in Numbers 16–18, continuing through Samuel’s defense of godly leadership in 1 Samuel 11–12, and landing in the New Testament with Paul’s instruction in Romans 13:1–7.

Is all authority from God? Can church leadership be questioned? What should believers do when government laws contradict God’s Word?

We confront these questions with Scripture, history, and humility—calling for a return to servant leadership and holy reverence. This teaching is especially relevant in times of spiritual abuse, religious control, or political pressure. Whether you're a Bible student, ministry leader, or seeker of truth—this episode will challenge and equip you.
