Balancing Obedience and Moral Resistance: A Journey with Jonathan Mayhew

Is unwavering obedience always justified, or should moral discernment guide our actions? Join me, Jesse Cope, as we explore this compelling question through the lens of Jonathan Mayhew’s thought-provoking speech on obedience and resistance. This episode underscores the profound impact of spiritual practices and the nurturing of relationships with God and our spouses in navigating these complex issues. Drawing from a listener's experience with power outages, we also emphasize the importance of preparedness, urging you to consider stocking up on essentials like canned goods and fuel in these unpredictable times.

Our conversation deepens as we assess the responsibilities individuals face when civil authorities press for support of actions that may contradict personal beliefs, particularly in the context of current U.S. issues like abortion and LGBTQ relationships. We discuss the importance of standing firm in one's faith and resisting unlawful demands, while offering blessings to families, marriages, and our nation. This episode is not just a call to spiritual dedication but also a rallying cry for moral resistance. Eager to continue this vital conversation, I invite you to reflect on the balance between obedience and discernment in your own life.
