"What if I told you the Bible calls government officials 'ministers of God'? Romans 13 makes this clear three times, yet most pastors won't touch it. If elected leaders are truly ministers of God, shouldn't they be held to God's standards? This changes everything about how we engage the public square. 

In this episode, Pastor Brian Noble, explores Romans 13:1-7, revealing that the Bible explicitly calls government officials "ministers of God" and "servants of God" three times. He argues that if pastors disciple other ministers of God, they should also disciple elected officials by teaching them biblical definitions of good and holding them accountable to God's standards. Noble challenges the church's avoidance of government stewardship, urging believers to engage elected officials with the same spiritual care they would give any minister, since all leaders will stand before God and give account. The devotional calls for revival in government and a burden to love and disciple officials across all political parties.
