from Autopsy: How Theology Explains the Christian Life · host Chris Ruwaldt
We live in the most comfortable and entertained era in human history, and yet many of us remain inwardly restless. We stay distracted, exhausted, and unable to be still.Sixteen hundred years ago, Augustine diagnosed this condition with startling precision. He believed the human heart was created for God and would remain restless until it found rest in Him.In Episode One of Autopsy, we examine why restlessness is not merely a psychological problem or a cultural problem. It is a theological problem.Sources:• Augustine — Confessions• Psalm 42• Ecclesiastes 3• Matthew 11:28–30• Romans 13:14
