In this unique epsiode Duffey recounts the story of a small band of radicals in seventeenth-century England. This group is known today as the Fifth Monarchy Men. The Fifth Monarchy Men were Puritans (made up of both Independents and Baptists) who promoted a particular eschatological view of the 'fifth kingdom' of Daniel 2:44 and Daniel 7:26-27. This story recounts some of the Fifth Monarchy Men who became radicalized through the hearing of sermons and the reading of published material, and who saw the imminent need to overthrow the existing government in England through a violent force of arms in order to usher in the millennial kingdom of Christ on earth.

In this epsiode, Duffey is joined by Pastor Tom Hicks (FBC Clinton, LA) to discuss the Law and Gospel in counseling.

There are many issues that pastors (and others) face in the counseling room. But how should the Law of God factor in to these discussions? How should the Gospel inform these conversations? These and other issues are addressed on this podcast.
