Was the shooting of Renee Nicole Good murder or self-defense? We use this case as a clear, real-world test of state power. Craig and Larken Rose ask how far a badge can go before our Christianity must say “stop.” The point is not to chase outrage, but to measure authority by the words of Jesus. God first, always. You’ll hear a step-by-step look at the key moments on video, why the second and third shots matter most, what “watch his feet” reveals, why a doctor was turned away, and how “Have you not learned?” exposes a culture of fear. We connect those details to why people defend obvious wrongs, how training can overpower conscience, and a simple, repeatable test for Christians: one moral standard for everyone, no special pass for uniforms, God over government. Listen to get a clean framework you can use the next time the state uses force. You will leave with plain language, Scripture touchpoints, and the courage to put God first when the badge and the Bible collide.  🤝Connect with Larken ROSE: The Jones Plantation Film Platforms: Available on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Tubi, Xmou Play, The Roku Channel, PLEX  The Rose Channel Book: The Most Dangerous Superstition  YouTube Candles in the Dark Facebook Try this week: serve one neighbor; tell the truth with kindness; pray for an enemy by name; refuse to excuse violence because “it’s my side”; choose presence over outrage.
