John Stonestreet and Shane Morris talk about how Christians are responding to the coronavirus–and how even heroic efforts like those of Samaritan’s Purse setting up a field hospital in New York City are being criticized by those with, shall we say, a certain bias against Christianity.
John and Shane also discuss at length the issue of church and state: Can states force churches to close? Are there historical precedents? When can — and even should — the Church obey the state in times of crisis, and how to we ensure that our freedom to assemble remains just that — freedom?
