Episode 48

The world came to a screeching halt in the spring of 2020. A new and contagious virus was spreading like wildfire and all levels of government worldwide scrambled for damage control solutions. Major shifts were happening quickly: politicians wielded deeply questionable power in the name of damage control, scientists pushed the envelope in pursuit of medicinal breakthroughs, and the American people in particular became acutely aware of the sheer magnitude of the power imbalance between them and their government…and all the dreadful implications that carries. In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, returning guest MD helps us explore the national response to COVID-19 and understand both what it has meant and will mean for Christians moving forward.
