The Myth of “Traditional” Values


Listen Later

You’ve heard it repeated by nonaffirming Christians and right-wing politicians: “traditional values.”

But listen closely — and notice what’s missing.

Honesty. Fidelity. Compassion. Justice. Kindness.

So what are “traditional values,” really? Whose tradition are we talking about? From which era? From which culture? From which Bible — and whose Christianity?

In this episode, we expose the myth of “traditional values,” how the phrase became a political weapon instead of a moral compass, and what real, Jesus-shaped values actually demand of us.
