About this episode
We live in an age that is drowning in hypocrisy, and the tragic thing is that it has forgotten how to blush. The world is full of men who want to legislate the contents of your refrigerator while their own houses are filled with rot. They want to police your pronouns while their own souls are incoherent. The technology changes, but the sin remains the same. The Pharisees had their tassels, and modern man has his lapel pins, his Twitter bio, and his carefully curated public persona. Both are forms of the same disease: a religion of the exterior, a righteousness designed for public consumption. This is a blistering, frontal assault on the entire edifice of a man-centered, works-based, pride-fueled religious system. This is a declaration of war against the counterfeit kingdom. The Pharisees had constructed a system that appeared to be about God but was, in reality, all about them.
