Protest + Pray for Trump

On Part 3 of our special 4 part series on Church and Patriotism Sam and Paul talk about Biblical examples of protest as demonstrated through the lives and actions of men and women in the Bible and how they help us understand how to live this out today.

NOTE - We talk a bit about a man named Nicodemus but in reality got his name mixed up with another man by the name of Zaccheus. It is Zaccheus we were discussing and not Nicodemus.
