Born Broken? Reclaiming Worth Beyond Original Sin | Episode 528

Well, as you know, some of our most listened to, most rebroadcast and repeated episodes have been concerning spirituality.

I'm very aware of that from reading the comments.

Yes, yes.

And again, these comments are not meant to be offensive.

We understand that people's faith structure can be comforting, and committed to a life we have no desire to change your mind however what we want to do is point things out okay mike have you ever been evangelized have you ever someone ever came up to you and they usually begin by saying uh what can you why should you be in heaven why should you be rewarded

Usually it's going to certain functions and everybody telling me to repent, and this is usually WrestleMania, or something like that.

Usually people will say, well, I'm good.

I try to do kind things for others.

I'm patient.

I have a moral compass, all these other things.

And the evangelist will say, no, there's nothing you can do.

You are unworthy.

You are unworthy for God's

love.

What a statement.

What a statement.

What gall to have a statement like that?

So the title of this podcast today, Mike, is Born Broken, Reclaiming Worth Beyond Original Sin.

So in this podcast, we're going to talk about how original sin has led to inherited shame, guilt, human worth, and the possibility, perhaps, of blessing.

Okay? So what this episode does, we're going to explore the hurtful concept of original sin, the idea that human beings are born spiritually stained, broken, guilty, or unworthy.

And that has been transmitted across eons to all generations.

What a push.

What a push from this side to have, you know, this generally there is something wrong with you from the religious side.

And then from the marketing side, telling you how there's something wrong with you and we're going to buy this to make it better.

Yes,
