No Kings & The Theology of Protesting (SE #139)

Protesting is part of the First Amendment rights we have as Americans. They can be positive, such as the Boston Tea Party, the Civil Rights Movement or the March for Life. Or, they can be negative such as Pride parades and the BLM riots of 2020. How should Christians think through protests?
Using No Kings as an example, Kenna and Jenna discuss God’s justice, the command to be self-controlled and investigating the purpose of a protest before joining in.
