Â
In this wide-ranging and reflective episode, Dr. John Patrick weaves together theology, literature, history, and cultural analysis to explore what happens when wisdom disappears from public life. Drawing on John 15, Isaiah 11, and a powerful sermon by Charles Spurgeon, he reflects on awe, reverence, and the fear of the Lord as foundations for spiritual maturity.
Â
The conversation moves through classic works like The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky and The Abolition of Man, examining moral authority, suffering, and the consequences of a world that lives as if God does not exist.
