Wretched Radio with Todd Friel

Why Our Obsession With Safety Is Making Us Spiritually Sick


Listen Later

Segment 1

• Modern culture has made “safety” its idol; every discomfort is treated like trauma.

• Scripture flips the script: danger isn’t just outside – it’s inside you.

• If your biggest threat is the outside world, you’ll live in fear. If it’s your own heart, you’ll run to Christ.

Segment 2

• “Safety-based” psychology is invading schools; students are learning to pathologize conviction.

• Polyvagal Theory (born 1994) ignores man’s spiritual nature—an anthropological train wreck.

• The Bible says transformation comes by renewing the mind, not regulating vagus nerves.

Segment 3

• The real concern is kids weaponizing therapy language against parents.

• Britain officially affirms cousin marriage—a symbol of moral decay in the West.

• Even theologians like N.T. Wright drift from biblical authority, showing the slope is real.

Segment 4

• Cousin marriage bans once built Western civilization—now they’re being reversed.

• Germany’s “polyandrous priestess” and IVF jewelry reveal what happens when sacredness dies.

• The decline isn’t just weird—it’s spiritual rot disguised as progress.
