Episode Synopsis


Is man a created being with purpose—or a cosmic fluke without meaning? In this episode, we unpack R.J. Rushdoony’s Accidental Man, a deep exploration of how the West’s rejection of God has transformed our language, culture, and morality. From Darwin’s elevation of chance to Sartre’s celebration of evil, Rushdoony traces how the loss of “substance” has led to a world where crime is random, virtue mocked, and man defined by nothing but impulse. But he also reminds us: accidental man dies, while redeemed man lives. Join us as we contrast the emptiness of chance with the enduring truth of God’s Word.
