In this episode, we step into one of the oldest questions in philosophy and faith:
Is something good because God commands it, or does God command it because it is good? — the famous Euthyphro dilemma.
From there, we take a fresh look at the Old Testament laws that so many people misunderstand. Instead of seeing them as harsh or outdated, we explore how they functioned like moral training wheels — guiding humanity from spiritual infancy toward maturity. These laws weren’t about control; they were about shaping a people who could recognize, choose, and preserve what is truly good.
We then move into the New Testament, where Christ reveals the heart behind the law — showing us that goodness is not merely obeyed, but lived, written on our hearts by the Spirit of God.
This episode challenges the modern idea that morality is just personal preference or cultural opinion. Instead, it asks a deeper question:
What if goodness is real, objective, and rooted in the very nature of God Himself?
If you’ve ever wrestled with rules, grace, or why Christianity insists that truth and goodness matter, this conversation brings clarity, depth, and hope.
