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.

We were all born sick.

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.
