Episode Details

From Mongol favor toward Christian bureaucrats to Puritan family diaries and forced abortions in Communist China, R.J. Rushdoony weaves a tapestry of history, theology, and social critique. This episode explores the unintended consequences of Christian complicity with power, the moral collapse behind statist population control, and the legacy of faithful living amid injustice. With insights from books on medieval monasteries, revolutionary America, biblical counseling, and opium-fueled imperialism, Rushdoony offers a sobering yet hope-filled reminder: godliness, not politics, is the path to true gain.
