EP62: Faith, Vaccination, Consideration, and Coercion with Dave Brisbin - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

Must future outbreaks be brother vs brother? Bill Protzmann took the lead in this discussion and interviewed Dave Brisbin and me (Jim Babka) about our response to the shot, to mandates, and how that stuff affected us. Our responses are different. Our decisions about the shot were the opposite. So… How could they both be the "right response" from a shared faith perspective? How could brother agree with brother? Viewers and listeners will learn how and why the answer is found in something called the macro and the micro. Amazingly, this episode was recorded in May. Now, the Do Not Consent movement helps make it timely. As you know quite well, principles are timeless. We also address an issue that nagged at me during 2020: Why were "church people" so scared of death? This is a "bonus episode" to the series we've already done with Pastor Dave Brisbin of "theeffect." They're all quite short.
