Welcome to Episode 2 of A Biblical Frame.
In light of the worldwide wide ‘trucker’ protests and convoys that are calling out for freedom, we felt it pertinent to discuss freedom from a biblical and theological perspective.
We are very thankful to have Douglas Farrow, Professor of Theology and Ethics at McGill University in Montreal join for this discussion.
“We may think that when following pandemic rules we love our neighbour and we preserve, at least, the freedom of gathering for worship. In effect, however, we have already given up freedom because our choice is no longer linked to truth. Are we surprised that division and hatred have seeped into our churches over the mandates? Calling compliance an act of love that is bereft of truth leads to division. True Christian discipleship requires us to hold together freedom, love, and truth and only when we do that can we follow Christ freely and responsibly.” - Jens Zimmermann

Later this week we will send another update with the full video of the podcast. In light of the news coming from Ottawa this morning we wanted to get this podcast out as soon as possible.
