Send us Fan MailOn April 14, 1772, in Weare, New Hampshire, a group of colonial men violently resisted British officers enforcing the Crown’s pine tree laws. What looked like a fight over timber was really a fight over tyranny, overreach, and the right of free men to draw a line before power takes everything.In this episode, we break down the Pine Tree Riot, what it reveals about human government, and why men must learn the difference between rightful authority and creeping control. Because if you never resist when power takes an inch, do not be shocked when it comes back for your whole city.SOTD: Acts 5:29 (ESV) - “But Peter and the apostles answered, ‘We must obey God rather than men.’”HOW TO DEVELOP IT1.
