The Crisis of Authority | Authority Vs. Power

Authority is not the same thing as domination. In a culture suspicious of hierarchy and scarred by abuses of power, we explore the true nature of authority: what it is, why it is necessary, and how it differs from tyranny, manipulation, and raw control. From the family to the Church, from politics to personal formation, this episode examines how authentic authority exists not to crush freedom, but to order it toward truth, goodness, and flourishing. Drawing from philosophy, theology, and modern culture, we ask: why does every society need authority, and what happens when power reigns without wisdom, sacrifice, or moral limits?Connect with us here:Website: http://www.logos-podcast.com/Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3PCPWBvNcAbptX17PzlC2x?si=BkEHS4vGSf-xmMlDFcpZ2QApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/logos-podcast/id1560191231YouTube: https://youtube.com/@logospodxast?si=RaYkZAfLKea2kBtZInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/logospodxastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/logospodcastSponsored by the Augustine Institute:Apply now: https://www.augustine.edu/logosGary Michuta’s new book, Messiah: stpaulcenter.com/messiah-logos
