About this episode
The episode discusses the deceptive nature of sin and its impact on humanity's understanding of truth and morality.
From the very beginning, sin has made the same deceptive promise that the serpent whispered to Eve: that we can be like God, determining our own truth and morality. This lie echoes through history, from ancient pharaohs claiming divinity to modern philosophies that elevate human reason above divine revelation. However, sin's actual result is the opposite of what it promises. Instead of making us godlike, it dehumanizes us and others.
