EPISODE 0216 | Worldviews On Morality: Good vs Evil - POV Part 3
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0216
In this episode, Pastor Nate, Pastor Josh, and Pastor Nigel tackle one of the most foundational questions in worldview: what is good, and who gets to decide? From karma and conscience to government laws and God’s commands, they explore the differences between subjective morality and biblical truth. You’ll hear how students process moral contradictions, what it means to sear your conscience, and why objective standards are essential for justice, flourishing, and salvation. Whether you’ve wondered about cultural relativism, cosmic justice, or why being a “good person” isn’t enough—this episode will challenge your assumptions and help build a biblical foundation for truth.
Main Topics Covered:
✔️ The four major worldviews on morality: Naturalism, Relativism, Eastern Thought, and Biblical Christianity
✔️ The myth of “my truth” and how it reveals postmodern thinking
✔️ Why biblical morality is rooted in God's unchanging character—not human feelings
✔️ How conscience works (and how we sear it through sin and compromise)
✔️ Real examples of worldview contradictions in students, churches, and culture
✔️ Why we do legislate morality—and what that reveals about objective truth
✔️ How subjective morality undermines justice, law, and accountability
Key Scriptures:
📖 Genesis 1:27 – God created mankind in His image
📖 Romans 12:2 – Be transformed by the renewing of your mind
📖 Deuteronomy 6:5–9 – Teach God’s commands diligently
📖 Romans 2:14–15 – The law is written on our hearts
📖 Isaiah 5:20 – Woe to those who call evil good and good evil
📖 Matthew 7:21–23 – Not everyone who says “Lord” will enter the kingdom
📖 Romans 5:12 – Sin entered the world through one man
Key Takeaways:
🔹 Your worldview determines how you define right and wrong
🔹 Subjective morality fails—because feelings are not a reliable moral compass
🔹 The Bible provides clear, consistent moral boundaries rooted in God's nature
🔹 Conscience confirms God’s truth—but can be ignored or silenced over time
🔹 Real justice requires objective standards; without them, chaos and contradiction reign
🔹 Being a “good person” is not enough—only knowing Christ leads to salvation
🔹 God is not just the moral lawgiver—He is also the righteous judge
