Pietism Is Deadly | Here's What You Need Instead

October 13, 2026 · 36 min

Show notes

One of our favorite episodes from the archive. If you’re new, or skipped this one the first time, start here.

Piety is devotion bounded by duty. Pietism is holiness used as an excuse to abandon your post. From the Thirty Years’ War to Piper to Radical, we break down how evangelicals turned faith inward, and why men returning to ambition can’t leave piety behind.
