When California Governor Gavin Newsom locked down the state of California during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was one church that stood up against the governmental overreach and opened its doors to the body of believers: John MacArthur’s Grace Community Church. Pastor MacArthur joins “Fearless” to discuss the upcoming documentary “The Essential Church,” which documents the history of governmental interference with the Christian church. “We live godly, quiet, peaceable, submissive lives to the government. But when the government oversteps its bounds, we have to hold the line. Christ is the head of the church — not Gavin Newsom.” Jason and Pastor MacArthur dive into the role of, and lack of, true masculine leadership in the American church and American society. And in Tennessee Harmony, Anthony Walker and Virgil Walker join the show to review Pastor MacArthur’s interview and share their thoughts on his impact and legacy.
