This episode makes a theological argument for the inherent freedom of all human beings: this includes, but is not limited to, freedom of thought, freedom of speech and freedom of choice.

A proper biblical understanding of human freedom is necessary cognizant of many sweeping changes in our world where people have lost (or are losing) their ability to think critically with the full breadth of information, to speak out in dissent or to make their own uncoerced life choices. Dr. Sadaphal provides clarity for believers who need a biblical framework to understand how God made people to live and how that plays out in the midst of living under a godless secular authority that forces people to live how it wants.

What is at stake is more than (for example) freedom to refuse a vaccine or to congregate as a church; what is at stake is everything: an attempted de-Christianization of the West and the rise of Satanic totalitarianism. What is not exceptional is that authorities are trying to grab more power by force. What is exceptional is that people have forgotten who they are (free and image bearers of God) and have persistently adapted and normalized to a reality in which power simply is; these same people cannot imagine alternatives.
