In this episode of the Current Reality Podcast, Michael and Wade address the deadly and dehumanizing issue of population control, critiquing the Darwinian idea that the Earth is overpopulated, championed by Paul Ehrlich, Planned Parenthood, and the World Economic Forum. They argue against viewing humans merely as consumers, advocating instead for the biblical view of humans as creators and stewards of Earth, made in God's image. The discussion extends to questioning modern societal trends of prioritizing personal luxury over building households, drawing on teachings from Augustine and Jerome. This episode aims to reshape the listener's understanding of the value of children and the importance of procreation within marriage. It underlines the intrinsic value of human life and the sanctity of family as central to Christian belief, encouraging a departure from the societal norm of willful childlessness among married couples for personal gratification.
