Episode #110 (November 30, 1985)

In this incisive session, R.J. Rushdoony explores how delegating Christian responsibilities to the state breeds bureaucracy, while reclaiming them dissolves it—starting with the church's potential to eliminate welfare dependence. From royal bastards and broken inheritance laws to medieval marriage reforms and modern ideological delusions, Rushdoony weaves a striking tapestry of history, theology, and political insight. Whether dissecting race politics, environmental extremism, or the collapse of law and morality, he calls Christians to reject statist illusions and reclaim leadership grounded in God’s Word.
