Episode Synopsis


Is the state your god—or is it just acting like one? In this episode, we unpack Chalcedon Position Paper No. 40: "The Law, the State, and the People". R.J. Rushdoony cuts to the root of modern tyranny: the loss of a transcendent law. When man makes law, he also makes himself sovereign—and that always leads to injustice. From ancient kings to modern bureaucracies, history shows a consistent pattern: without God's law, freedom dies and power consolidates. Tune in as we explore how Biblical law breaks the grip of statist control, separates justice from political interest, and gives us the only true foundation for liberty. The law you follow reveals your god. So—who’s really ruling your life?
