Depravity or Natural Goodness?

Is sin merely a matter of social disorder—or is it rebellion against a holy God? In this episode, we examine R.J. Rushdoony’s sharp critique of modern views of human nature, from the Enlightenment to neo-orthodoxy. As we unpack the seductive but deadly idea that sin is sociological and that elites can usher in salvation through progress, we contrast this with Scripture’s unflinching declaration: all men are sinners before God, and only divine grace through Jesus Christ can save. Join us as we confront the false gospel of human goodness and rediscover the theological root of both depravity—and redemption.
