Classical Thought

Listen Later

In the second part of his lectureship series, C.R. Wiley warns of modern threats to faith, autonomy, and integrity posed by AI, consumerism, and secular institutions. He urges Christians to reclaim the household as a resilient, God-centered economic unit, countering modern idolatry and dependence. Drawing from early Christian ascetics like St. Anthony, Wiley highlights the discipline and intentional self-denial needed to resist cultural decay. He sees these practices not as retreat but as purposeful engagement, cultivating freedom from sin and readiness for God. Wiley challenges believers to reclaim agency, rooting their households in productive work and spiritual fortitude to face an increasingly dystopian future.
