Everyone likes to believe our time is different. Our country is stronger. Smarter. More advanced. Surely we’ve figured out what the great empires of the past couldn’t… right?
But history tells a very different story.
From Rome to Babylon, the greatest civilizations in the world all believed they were untouchable—until they weren’t. Power, wealth, influence, and confidence eventually gave way to the same old patterns: corruption, violence, moral confusion, and leaders who couldn’t be trusted.
Sound familiar?
As we look around today, it’s hard not to notice the similarities. The chaos, the debauchery, the crooked politics, the lies… and a culture that seems convinced everything is totally fine while the wheels are clearly wobbling.
But here’s the harder question: What about us as Christians?
Where have we bought into the same false narratives? Where do we think we’ve got it all figured out while still making some pretty terrible decisions? Are we placing our hope in systems, leaders, and culture… when we should be turning back to God for wisdom, direction, and truth?
This episode gets deep. Like “wait… are we the Romans now?” deep.
Don’t worry—we’ll still keep you laughing along the way. But this conversation might just challenge the way you see our country, our faith, and where real hope actually comes from.
Let’s jump in.
