How Do We Confront Evil? (episode 10)

By Dr. Dru Johnson

Part of Discover Your Roots S2

Episode Summary

Entropy happens in science (and our personal lives) since all things eventually fall apart unless an outside force acts on them. The same might be said about our societies. Unless we consciously and consistently make positive choices, everything will gradually descend into evil and chaos. The inevitable question is: how do we confront evil and choose the good?

In our season finale, Dr. Dru Johnson skillfully guides us through the implications of the topics we’ve covered thus far about the nature of good and evil and wraps this season up. Enjoy the episode, and thanks for joining us on this incredible journey exploring the Hebraic roots of your Christian faith!
