Episode 72: What Is Evil (Mark 7: 20-23)

What is Evil? Is it a demon that conjures hateful and destructive thoughts in people to do bad things? Is it what Freud would call the battle between conscience and desire? Is it the wrath of God? Bad things happen to us all the time and we ask why - and is there a daemonic presence that keeps us from enjoying life? Deb is back with us (Craig and I) and we all explore evil from all angles: the psychological, historical, political and from a christian perspective. We use Jesus' words to the Pharises and his disciples regarding what comes out of us - our internal spiritual life - as opposed to what enters us (outside forces). Though we do need to take care of what we take in our spiritual lives, what we put out in the world defines who we are. The question for me is not what is evil, but how strong is my faith to endure the evils of life. As always, let us know what you think and feel on this podcast, via on facebook, Twitter or Instagram (@Reg_Clay) and Deb Carriger (@DLCarriger) and we hope you have a blessed week.
