In this wide-ranging episode, Rushdoony reflects on everything from Islamic mythmaking and jazzed-up homes to insect undertakers and Renaissance art’s bold declarations of Christ’s full humanity. What do 13th-century street preachers, Henry VIII’s “reformation,” and a beetle burying a bird have in common? More than you might think. Tune in for a journey through neglected histories, cultural illusions, and unexpected glimpses of God’s providence in the past—and under your feet. Whether you’re wrestling with modern propaganda or marveling at beetle instincts, this Easy Chair reminds us that every part of life—high or humble—belongs to God's order.
