Podcasts about Moral relativism

In this evergreen episode of Right to Life Radio, John Gerardi dismantles a Jesuit scholar's claim that the Ten Commandments belong only in religious covenants, not public classrooms, and makes the case that moral law springs from human nature itself. He then turns to the modern culture war, exposing how medical associations and media jargon—from “cardiac activity” to “pro-choice”—skew public perception on life issues. Finally, he discusses the ongoing federal review of mifepristone, arguing for stricter abortion-pill regulations in the name of protecting vulnerable lives.

In this episode, Davies Owens is joined by educator and apologist Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder of Foundation Worldview, to tackle a challenge every Christian parent and teacher faces: raising kids to think clearly and biblically in a culture driven by feelings, relativism, and confusion.Elizabeth shares her journey from classroom teacher to worldview coach and offers simple, practical ways to train even young children to recognize truth, evaluate cultural messages, and respond with both discernment and grace. From defining truth in kid-friendly language to handling conversations about identity and judgment, this episode is full of timely tools you can use at home or in school—starting today.

In this conversation, Jared opens up about his journey of faith and calling as a writer and filmmaker. He shares how his high school struggles shaped his desire to lead people closer to Jesus through storytelling. Jared discusses the process of writing his latest book, "A Devil Named Lucifer," challenging misconceptions about the devil and calling Christians to ground their beliefs in Scripture. He critiques moral relativism, reflects on his personal growth in grace and humility, and emphasizes the need for hospitality and engagement with younger generations as practical ways to sow the gospel.TAKEAWAYS+Christian writing has historically influenced the church and society in profound ways.+There is importance in planting seeds through writing that can impact future generations.+If you feel called by God to do something, you should pursue it relentlessly. +Understanding the devil's role is crucial in a materialist society.+Moral relativism poses a significant danger to society.+The character of Christ should guide our actions and decisions.+ Engaging with young people can be vital for spiritual growth and understanding.Jared Brock is an author, filmmaker, and storyteller with a unique gift for remembering remarkably specific details—thanks to his DNA-confirmed elevated episodic memory. He kissed his future wife in the summer before seventh grade, and today, they live in the UK with their two young sons. Jared, who is Canadian, and his wife—who is of Ethiopian and Finnish descent—are passionate about living simply. They don't own cell phones, preferring an analog lifestyle marked by generous time margins and meaningful relationships. Through his books and films, Jared invites audiences to think deeply, live intentionally, and draw closer to Jesus.Jared is the award-winning author of "A Year of Living Prayerfully" and "A God Named Josh" and the director of several films, including PBS's acclaimed Redeeming Uncle Tom with Danny Glover. His writing has appeared in Christianity Today, The Guardian, Smithsonian, USA Today, Huffington Post, Relevant, and TIME.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Author Jim Valois takes us on a journey through the dangerous waters of modernism – not the technological or cultural kind, but the theological heresy that threatens to undermine Catholic teaching at its core.For young people seeking solid ground in a world of shifting values, this confusion can be particularly devastating.The conversation opens with Jim's personal story of reverting to Catholicism after years in evangelicalism. His experience illuminates how poor teaching and modernist influences can drive faithful Catholics away from the Church, only to have them return when they encounter the fullness of truth preserved in authentic Catholic tradition.Pope St. Pius X recognized this danger over a century ago, calling modernism "the synthesis of all heresies" and implementing reforms to combat its spread."Truth is not a something, truth is a somebody – Jesus Christ." By returning to Scripture, the Catechism, and the Church's living tradition, believers can find their way through the fog of modernism to the clarity and peace that only unchanging truth can provide.Jim's Article "Defeating Modernism" @ the Catholic ExchangeOur Ladies Prophecies By Jim ValiosDownload the Claymore Battle Plan for Men! Follow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalOn Rumble: JohnPaulIIRCIf you're interested in being a sponsor of the Become Who You Are Podcast, please email us at Info@JP2Renew.org Support the show

In today's world, many believe that truth is subjective—what seems right to one person may not be right for another. But is that what God teaches? Moral relativism has weakened the foundation of morality, but God's truth remains firm.

Moral Relativism. What Is It?

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're discussing Kanye West's latest internet meltdown and what it reveals about the state of our unfortunate over-sexualized and depraved culture. From celebrity chaos to societal decay, it's clear—without God, the world spirals into total confusion and sin. We're breaking down the bigger picture and talking about why it's time to turn away from worldliness/wickedness and the dysfunction of degeneracy and back to the truth and love of Christ. Jesus is the only sane way forward, ladies and gentlemen.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-copy?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=tbs_thebiblestudy_searchads-nixwdmd&tw_source=google&tw_adid=608801073541&tw_campaign=17672311083&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAC-_2dRN1WU6lhTaWFNApFgzBkVe_&gclid=CjwKCAiAwaG9BhAREiwAdhv6Y_Xc6w4LM7_4otTu1-XgzYjKKwhwbNBCdqLFVTDdXToND7Rt6JU2hBoC3hsQAvD_BwE

I wanted to follow up on my post from last week, Return to Real Science, that talked about “Relativism”. Two things happened since then that I thought perfectly illustrated the problem with “Moral Relativism” or “Moral Inversion”. I posted the following writing on Facebook: “I am appalled that many people, including journalists like Taylor Lorenz (Washington Post & New York Times), are celebrating the murder of an insurance company CEO. Taylor posted a screenshot of another health insurance company making a change and her post said: “And people wonder why we want these executives dead”. This is the problem with moral relativism.Get my weekly posts in your email by subscribing for free! For background I shared that my article this week explained relativism and included a quote from the article: “Relativism is the idea that all opinions are equally valid, no matter how ridiculous. For example, certain frameworks might argue that math is oppressive because it emphasizes correct answers. But without objective truth, how do we build bridges, design computers, or cure diseases? Imagine an engineer saying, “My truth is that this bridge will hold up,” even if the math proves otherwise. Relativism doesn't lead to progress; it leads to chaos.”We're seeing the damage this mindset causes right now. People are justifying their celebration of murder by claiming it's acceptable because of the CEO's role in denying health insurance claims.This selective moral reasoning is rooted in relativism—the belief that morality can shift based on context or personal feelings. It replaces universal principles, like the inherent wrongness of murder, with subjective justifications tied to anger or perceived injustice.But here's the danger: if morality becomes entirely relative, it opens the door to chaos.Today, it's celebrating a CEO's murder; tomorrow, it could be justifying anything that feels right to someone at the time.Relativism undermines the very foundations of ethical reasoning and erodes trust in the principles that hold society together.We cannot allow ourselves to be swept away by this mindset.It's imperative to reject moral relativism and return to universal principles of reason and evidence, principles that ensure justice, fairness, and accountability for all, regardless of our emotions or personal grievances.Murder is wrong.”After I posted this on Facebook, one of my very smart and well intentioned friends respectfully criticized my article saying that I was incorrect. We had a lengthy debate and I know he has the best of intentions, but this part of the interaction perfectly illustrated the problem with this mindset. He suggested that my post was alienating people. So I responded with the message: “I respectfully suggest it may not be me who is alienating people. Let me offer an example: Could you answer a seemingly simple question with a simple yes or no: “Is it acceptable for race to be a consideration in hiring, grading, or discipline?”His response was: “That's a trick question and you know it. Yes, it's acceptable in select situations. And no, it isn't in all.”That answer shocks most people that have been out of academia for a while or who haven't been paying attention to this new line of thinking. But it is a perfect illustration of moral relativism. It couldn't be more clear. This new line of thinking has convinced incredibly smart and well intentioned people that racism and murder are okay in certain “select situations”. I reject this view completely and I hope that we all will. It is never appropriate to judge someone based on the color of their skin. This is a moral truth. This is the basis of the Civil Rights Movement and the Civil Rights Act. But sadly, this type of thinking has pervaded almost all of our powerful institutions in America. Due to the selective moral relativism, organizations like schools, companies, non-profits will engage in a practice called “Hiring with an equity lens”. This activity quite literally encourages the organization to make hiring decisions with an eye towards considering race. This practice is illegal and immoral, even though it is done with the best of intentions, it still does not justify the practice and it never will. We must reject this kind of moral relativism and return to return to objective, universal principles that respect individual rights and emphasize personal responsibility. Hiring decisions, and all organizational practices, must be based on competence, character, and contribution, not superficial attributes like race or gender. When we deviate from this approach, we erode the foundations of trust and accountability that hold society together.This is not about intention but about outcomes. Good intentions cannot justify practices that undermine equality under the law and create resentment. History has proven that when people are judged by their abilities and achievements, rather than group identity, innovation and prosperity follow.To restore integrity to our institutions, we must demand a relentless commitment to standards that transcend political fads or ideological movements. This means rejecting any practice that prioritizes group identity over individual capability and insisting on a meritocratic approach that rewards excellence and effort.The way forward is simple but not easy. It requires a willingness to stand against popular but destructive ideas and to reaffirm timeless truths about human dignity and agency. Our schools, businesses, and nonprofits must lead by example, building cultures where personal responsibility and achievement are the sole measures of success.DefinitionsMurder: the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.Racism: the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another.My dream is to be a writer.

The Gospel is good news, not good advice. It doesn't just call us to be better; it invites us into a whole new life in Christ. In an age that says we must define ourselves, gospel doctrine tells us that we're already defined in the most profound way: loved, redeemed, and called by Jesus. This is the truth that binds His Church together.   In this Episode, Whit and Casey explore the history of our individualistic culture and the foundational beliefs that define the Church.   Show notes: Check out the message: Gospel Doctrine in an Age of Moral Relativism  | https://youtu.be/R4xwMaBTxNE?si=4Bpb405nL-E4I456 In this episode Whit mentions the book Strange New World by Carl Trueman

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The human story is a confrontation between two opposing forces: the force of attraction, whose source is in the wounded Heart of the Crucified-Risen One, and the power of Satan, who does not want to be ousted from his kingdom.Today's young people face enormous challenges in a culture that often denies the existence of God, the Church, and the Bible. We delve into the existential battle between a purposeful, created life and the bleak notion of existence as an accident. Drawing inspiration from Saint John Paul II and Cardinal Caffarra, we reveal how Marxist ideologies have impacted marriage, family, and religious values, and stress the critical importance of grounding our lives in spiritual truths. Only by doing so can one find true happiness and fulfillment amidst the noise of modern secularism.Follow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalOn Rumble: JohnPaulIIRCCatch up with the latest on our website: jp2renew.org and Sign up for our Newsletter!!  Contact Jack: info@jp2renew.orgRead Jack's Blog substack.com/@jackrigert  Support the show

There is a spirit at work in our modern day culture that has led us into a false theology. We in the western world are not the persecuted church, however we can be a group of people that call Him Lord without submitting to Him in our hearts. There is no qualification in Christ Jesus besides Christ Jesus and we have been asked to practice the word of God that we hear. In order to become a true disciple of Christ there is a level of practice of this relationship that can only come when we are possessed by the will of God. Like the church of Thyatira we can so easily become a church that is great at love without truth and call it tolerance. This allows those inside attacks that destroy us from within to take root! The enemy doesn't mind us building, he just doesn't want us building on the truth which is the only way to change our lives for His glory. People allow the Jezebel spirit to rule because of Moral Relativism, which states that truth is subjective. We so easily let people believe a truth that they might perceive as absolute because they declare that it is their truth. But God says that He is the absolute truth and in order for us to become the Church of Christ we must display trust in the truth of His word. Here are some indications that we might not be okay with absolute truth: 1) We start looking to other being to justify how we feel listening to false prophets 2) We are unwilling to take the difficult questions up to God because we don't want to let go of our desires 3) We only give glory to God in moments of victory but we curse him in moments of defeat God is God of love but He is also a good Father and because of that there are some things He asks us to hate. It is for our protection that He asks us to be in the world but not of the world. The lust of the flesh and the pride of life come from the enemy and in order to win at life we need to walk away from things that we desire that are not beneficial to us. We are going to be a church that does the Will of the Father. God has called us to call out those things that are unbiblical and that is what we are going to go!

Moral relativism is one of the primary underlying causal factors for the U.S. migrant crisis and the proliferation of the defund the police propaganda. When people understand morality as relative, they will think and behave in ways that perpetrate mixed ideologies. For example, they will engage in behaviors that initiate physical harm to others thinking that they are doing the right thing morally. People whose understanding of morality is relative will also refuse to do correct moral behaviors in fear of loss of comfort and other rewards. People will think that following orders from a trusted authority is moral when it is not. The MC and DTP are classic examples of symptoms of morally relative thinking and behaviors.

We review the absurdity of viewing ethics and truth as depending on person, group or culture, like it would for one's taste in ice cream or music.In Messiah: 2030 ­ an astounding, bold and very biblically focused little book ­ Clive Douglas Campbell makes the case that biblical and historical chronology, as well as the figurative meanings of biblical texts, indicate the year but not the day and hour of the coming of the Messiah, God¹s King Who is coming to reign. In addition to a strong case being made for a seven-millennia plan and time line of God, Campbell puts forward some astounding new thoughts:Between probably 4 1/2 billion B.C. and 3966 B.C., the earth was further from the sun. The creation "week," which began in 3970 B.C., was seven years long. The moon is a figure for the Holy Spirit in the fourth "day" of the creation "week." The garden of Eden was at the site of Jerusalem. God likely tilted the earth's axis at the Fall. The World Trade Center Towers are in the Bible. The fifth Arab-Israeli war will be over in 2003. Animal sacrifices at a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem will begin about 2020. At the Rapture, in 2023, the Lord will return with Moses and Elijah,both who have immortal bodies, to receive "the dead in Christ" and those "who are alive and remain," respectively. The Antichrist will come out of the ten-nation C.I.S.Druze (/ˈdruːz/ DROOZ;[19] Arabic: دَرْزِيّ, darzī or دُرْزِيّ durzī, pl. دُرُوز, durūz), who call themselves al-Muwaḥḥidūn (lit. 'the monotheists' or 'the unitarians'),[20]are an Arab and Arabic-speaking esotericethnoreligious group from West Asia who adhere to the Druze faith, an Abrahamic, monotheistic, syncretic, and ethnic religion whose main tenets assert the unity of God, reincarnation, and the eternity of the soul.Most Druze religious practices are kept secret. The Druze do not permit outsiders to convert to their religion. Marriage outside the Druze faith is rare and strongly discouraged. The Druze maintain Arabic language and culture as integral parts of their identity, and Arabic is their primary language.The Epistles of Wisdom is the foundational and central text of the Druze faith. The Druze faith originated in Isma'ilism (a branch of Shia Islam),and was influenced by Christianity, Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, Zoroastrianism, Gandharan Buddhism, Manichaeism,Pythagoreanism, and other philosophies and beliefs, creating a distinct and secretive theology based on an esoteric interpretation of scripture, which emphasizes the role of the mind and truthfulness. Druze believe in theophany and reincarnation.

On this episode, Nate is joined by philosopher and educator Zak Stein to discuss the current state of education and development for children during a time of converging crises and societal transformation. As the pace of life continues to accelerate - including world-shaking technological developments - our schools struggle to keep pace with changes in cultural expectations. What qualities are we encouraging in a system centered on competition and with no emphasis on creating agency or community participation? How is unfettered technology and artificial intelligence influencing youth - and what should parents, adults, and teachers be doing in response? What could the future of education look like if guided by true teacherly authority with the aim to create well-rounded, stable young humans with a sense of belonging and purpose in their communities?  About Zak Stein:  Dr. Zak Stein is a philosopher of education, as well as a Co-founder of the Center for World Philosophy and Religion.

Moral Relativism, the belief that right and wrong are up to our society is not neutral. it is a view of right and wrong that is every bit as much a claim to know something as those who say right and wrong are real.

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Jn 3:16-21 - God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever believes in Him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the Name of the only-begotten Son of God. And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God. Bishop Strickland and Terry discuss the medicinal qualities of excommunication and how it is intended to get those whom have strayed from the truth back on track, how moral relativism is the cause of many souls going to hell, God's plan for humanity:  Marriage and family, and the Sacrament of Confirmation

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Jn 3:7b-15 - Jesus said to Nicodemus: "'You must be born from above.' The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." Nicodemus answered and said to Him, 'How can this happen?" Jesus answered and said to him, "You are the teacher of Israel and you do not understand this Amen, amen, I say to you, We speak of what We know and We testify to what We have seen, but you people do not accept Our testimony. If I tell you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has gone up to heaven except the One Who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life." Bishop Strickland and Terry discuss the medicinal qualities of excommunication and how it is intended to get those whom have strayed from the truth back on track, and how moral relativism is the cause of many souls going to hell, and the Sacrament of Baptism

Is it really that hard to be opposed to advocating genocide? Most college campuses immediately condemn conservative speech as hateful and unacceptable whether it's pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, or stating that your chromosomes determine if you are male or female. And especially if you are backing a Republican politician or policy position.So many administrators refuse to condemn protests calling for "globalizing the intifada" or demanding a Palestinian state "from the river to the sea," which would be the end of Israel. Last week, three college presidents said the appropriateness of those protests depended upon the context.On Monday at the University of Pennsylvania, Sara interviewed several students drenched in moral relativism about the issue. Some found it too complicated to have an opinion, others said they were anti-genocide but refused to be critical of someone who believed the opposite. Is it really any surprise that weak leadership at these institutions produces weak students?Join Sara as she tells us about her conversations at Penn and her upcoming reporting at Harvard.Please visit our great sponsors:Express VPNhttps://expressVPN.com/saraProtect yourself online with an extra 3 months FREE.
