Gnosticism sounds like an ancient, obscure heresy—and in some ways it is. But the Gnostic worldview never really disappeared. It just changed shape.
In this episode, I break down what Gnosticism actually is: its view of God, humanity, salvation, and morality—and why it’s not just false, but spiritually dangerous. We’ll explore how Gnosticism flips Christianity upside down, offering salvation without repentance, secret knowledge instead of grace, and a God who must be escaped rather than worshiped.
Then we turn to the modern world: psychology, liberalism, politics, even therapy culture—and how Gnostic logic is still quietly running underneath it all.
If you’ve ever wondered why so many modern movements feel hollow, why the Gospel no longer seems like good news to people, or why sin feels like a forgotten category… this episode will help connect the dots.
Gnosticism isn’t just a historical curiosity. It’s a rival religion—and it’s still with us.

Jun 19, 2025

Philosophy and Sanity
Description:
Modern thought is unraveling. From the collapse of philosophical certainty to the rise of autonomous reason, we live in an age untethered from truth. Philosophy and Sanity explores the intellectual origins of our era, the failures of secular thought, and the enduring authority of the Christian tradition—especially through the lens of Catholicism.
Join me as we examine the thinkers, ideas, and historical forces that shaped postmodernity, critique the pitfalls of liberalism, and seek a way forward that balances faith, reason, and the common good. Through deep book discussions, historical analysis, and cultural commentary, this podcast is for those who refuse to settle for shallow answers in a world desperate for truth.
