About this episode

This episode discusses the concept of sin as a power that corrupts freedom and love, emphasizing the need for redemption.

The Bible has a name for this: sin. It is not simply the things we do wrong, but the power within us that twists what is good. Sin is the power that turns freedom into selfishness. Sin is the power that turns love into possession, justice into vengeance, and neighbors into enemies. If the problem were ignorance, we'd need better education. If the problem were bad laws, we'd need better legislation. If the problem were lack of discipline, we'd need more willpower. But if sin has taken hold of the human heart, then we need more than advice—we need redemption.
