Episode Details

Quietism turned Christianity into passive inward spirituality, separating heart from mind and prayer from action. It treated engagement with doctrine, law, and society as unspiritual, redefining holiness as withdrawal from the world. By minimizing moral struggle, Biblical law, and Christ’s lordship over history, Quietism replaced obedience with spiritual quietude. The result was an irrelevant faith that surrendered culture and responsibility, contrary to Biblical Christianity’s call to active, faithful service under Christ the King.
