Episode Details

Is poverty a virtue—or a weapon? In this episode, we explore how the medieval idea of “holy poverty” was revived in secular form by socialism, turning the poor into sanctified victims and the productive into moral suspects. R.J. Rushdoony challenges this inversion of Biblical truth, showing that Scripture neither idolizes poverty nor demonizes wealth, but calls all men to responsibility, charity, and dominion under God. Join us as we unpack how guilt-based politics erodes dignity—and how only a strong Christian faith can restore it.
