    Welcome to another episode of the Godly Grunt Podcast where we teach Soldiers to be better Christians and Christians to be better Soldiers. In this episode, we will discuss the theological views that brought about the American Revolution. America has considered itself a distinctly Christian Nation with a Christian founding. But with that understanding, how could a nation's founding be Christian if they declared Independence from Great Britain and fought a war against their governing authorities? Would this not be a violation of Romans 13:1-6 and 1 Peter 2:13-17? Here we will seek to answer how Christians are to respond to Tyrannical Governments? Can Christians resist said Government, and if yes, can that resistance be violent?
