Deep dives
The Concept of Original Sin and Woundedness
The podcast explores the concept of original sin and the idea that humans are born with a wounded nature. It discusses the biblical origins of this concept, emphasizing that while humans are made in God's image and likeness and are inherently good, they also inherit a woundedness that affects their relationship with God, others, and themselves. This woundedness is seen through indifference and temptation to use or manipulate others, as well as an internal struggle within oneself. The podcast highlights the importance of recognizing this wounded nature and how it manifests in our daily lives, observing signs of brokenness all around us.
Healing and Reconciliation through Jesus Christ
The podcast emphasizes the role of Jesus Christ in healing and reconciling humans to God, each other, and themselves. It discusses how Jesus bridges the gap between divinity and humanity, reconciling us to God through his sacrifice. Moreover, it highlights the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, enabling us to truly love one another and heal our broken relationships. The podcast underlines that while humans may desire things that are not good for them due to their brokenness, Jesus offers hope by pouring out His Holy Spirit and providing the means for restoration. It asserts that through Jesus Christ, humans can experience true healing and restoration, ultimately being brought closer to God and restored to their original goodness.
The sickness is Sin. It's not a tendency to sin that we brought upon ourselves... it's something we "caught" from our parents, that was passed down to us by our forefathers. This is Original Sin.
...but wait, how is that even fair?! Today, Fr. Mike reminds you that you are good and you were made good. But we are born with a wound that only our creator can heal.
