Original Sin

In a world increasingly obsessed with personal “rights” and self-fulfillment, R.J. Rushdoony cuts to the root: the problem isn’t politics or progress—it’s original sin. In this episode, we explore his bold claim that humanity’s deepest crisis is its demand for autonomy from God. From philosophy classrooms to marriage beds, the fallout of Eden’s rebellion has shaped a culture where every man is his own god, and every relationship bends under the weight of selfish will. But against the backdrop of collapse, Rushdoony points to a higher hope: the lordship of Christ, the restoration of interdependence, and the victory of grace over chaos.
