The Roots of Everything
The Roots of Everything
Everything about our modern world, our definitions of freedom, economics, relationships, spirituality first took root in the distant past as powerful ideas born from the greatest thinkers in human history. We can't really understand the world we live in today until we understand the influence of these powerful forces.
Join Dr. Zach on a tour through the garden of history where we uproot the greatest ideas of the past, so you know exactly what they are and how they influence you today.

Left and Right Ep.4: Conservatism
It's difficult to define the Right because, historically speaking, the Left and Right are fraternal twins with the same definition of the human being—a secular, Enlightenment definition that ultimately isn't compatible with a traditional Christian one.

Left and Right Ep.3: Egalitarianism
While the liberal democracies and socialism were at odds politically throughout the 20th century, they've started to merge because they share a core belief about the human being: egalitarianism—which turns out to be yet another secularization of an ancient Christian idea.

Left and Right Ep.2: The Foundations of Liberalism
To understand the left politically, we need to look at the history of how secular ideologies emerged in Enlightenment Europe and realize that we're not just talking about politics but about a view of humanity and morality—one that's deeply indebted to historic Christianity.

Left and Right Ep.1: A Brief History
Modern political ideologies are pseudo-religions that want to replace and subvert all your other religious beliefs. Left or right, they are all based on a radically new political idea that no previous religious cultures had entertained: secularism.

The Feminine Ep.4: Who is the Heroine?
The "hero's journey" is essentially male; what is the female equivalent? Today we explore archetypes in folk stories, mythology, Orthodoxy, and pop culture alike. Why are these archetypal stories about girls still resonant, and what can they tell us about feminine virtue?
