Episode Details

What makes a tax immoral? In this episode, we reflect on King David’s sinful census (1 Chron. 21:1) and explore how pride, power, and control through taxation can become spiritual issues. Drawing connections between biblical history and modern governance, we discuss the moral implications of taxation, the warning from John Marshall that “the power to tax is the power to destroy,” and the deeper truth that unjust systems reflect the hearts of the people. The solution isn’t revolt—but repentance. Lasting change starts with a return to faith and morality.
