SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
The influence of the Christian story on Western culture is profound and pervasive, even among those who reject its religious aspects. This is because the Christian story has shaped the moral and ethical framework of Western society for centuries. Concepts such as human dignity, justice, compassion, and the sanctity of life are all derived from biblical teaching. Even the very democracy we guard so tightly, is a result of the teachings and actions of the church. Even if individuals do not consciously acknowledge the biblical origins of these values, they have been ingrained in the cultural and societal norms that influence their beliefs and behaviours.

In this episode we discuss the 3 primary Christian traditions: Catholic, Protestant, Eastern Orthodox—three accents, one confession: Jesus Christ is Lord—crucified, risen, reigning.
Absolutely, the differences matter—authority, sacraments, salvation—real history, real bruises. But the centre holds:…
Everybody’s talking about “justice” right now—social justice, racial justice, climate justice. Your feed is full of call‑outs, hashtags, and hot takes. Modern Social Justice Theory tells you the world is a battlefield of oppressed vs. oppressors, where morality is measured by where you sit on the g…
Most of us grow up with a simple heaven framework: you either get in or you don’t. End of story. Cross the finish line, pass through the pearly gates, and from there it’s one big undifferentiated eternity—same heaven, same experience, same everything for everyone who accepted the grace offered thro…
What if justice isn’t just a political buzzword or a hashtag people weaponise when it suits them? What if it reaches deeper—into the way we see human dignity, power, poverty, guilt, and responsibility? In this episode, we take on the raw, uncomfortable question of what justice actually demands when…
