Why Our Desires Control Us

Why do we keep returning to the same sins and distractions when we know they cannot satisfy us? In this episode, we examine one of Augustine's most penetrating insights: we were created for worship. The question is not whether we worship, but what we worship. Drawing from Augustine, we explore how desire becomes attachment, attachment becomes habit, and habit becomes enslavement. We also consider why knowledge alone cannot change us and why every lesser god eventually disappoints.
